Case Study: Plaskolite achieves transportation savings and greater visibility with ODW Logistics

Plaskolite saves on shipping costs and consolidates orders with ODW Logistics

Plaskolite, a global manufacturer of engineering thermoplastics, faced a significant logistics challenge after making five acquisitions that more than doubled the company's size. Their existing logistics department was unable to handle the increased demands, prompting them to seek an outsourcing partner. They connected with ODW Logistics to manage their freight function.

ODW Logistics analyzed Plaskolite's entire transportation network and implemented a solution centered on order consolidation. This strategy provided Plaskolite with greater intelligence and access to expanded carrier networks. The shift to consolidated shipments resulted in lower freight damage, reduced emissions, and significant savings on shipping costs. When the COVID-19 pandemic caused both a surge in demand for Plaskolite's products and a contraction in transportation capacity, ODW's support was critical for navigating the market, securing capacity, and shifting some shipments to intermodal.
