Transportation / delivery

DIX Metals' philosophy is to be more than just a provider of precision blanks to its customers. They want to be a partner in your success. To that end, DIX Metals offers flexible, customized supply-chain and transportation solutions to its customers no matter where they are, be it next door, or on the east coast. DIX Metals’ supply chain solutions meet two growing needs for its customers. First, shippers increasingly require guaranteed delivery within a specified period of time, regardless of the mode of transportation. Second, they prefer a single-source provider that will save them both time and money.

Through strategic partnerships with preferred carrier services, DIX Metals offers a full menu of door-to-door, air and ground service for time-definite and just-in-time delivery. The benefit to customers is dramatic. They gain a competitive edge with more flexibility in product delivery schedules and with the advantage of speed over the competition, they can accelerate the supply chain, lower inventory costs and provide more predictable transportation.

DIX Metals' out-of-state business has grown rapidly in recent years. A big part of the reason is the ability to deliver anywhere quickly and on time. It is a common misunderstanding that large shipments of heavy components can take a prohibitively long time when originating from the west coast. Not so. Strategic relationships with certain carrier services enable DIX Metals to reach even the farthest U.S. destinations in just a few days.
