World Bank: ALOM's locations are optimal
The World Bank published its 2010 Logistics Performance Index (http://info.worldbank.org/etools/tradesurvey/mode1b.asp). Two countries with ALOM partner locations scored number 1 and 2: Germany scored Number One on the list worldwide. With ALOM's European partner location in the Number One logistics location in the world, the European market is well served. Singapore scored Number Two. With ALOM's Asian partner location headquartered in Singapore, the Asian market, too, is serviced from an optimum location.
While there may be per-unit cost savings in production cost to locate in one of the less desirable locations, frequently the total cost will be too high, when including logistics cost as well as management and delays in getting product to market.
The US - the location of ALOM's headquarters - scored Number 15 on the list. The lower number is due to customs clearance issues and ease of arranging competitively priced shipment. This is why services provided by ALOM regarding US import and export are so important to our customers.
