“The larger volume commodity box plants are located in Phoenix AZ, 120 miles away.
They have older equipment and are not as light on their feet. These companies have trouble
matching Tucson Container’s turnaround time, which is typically 24 to 48 hours.”
He continues. “Our supply chain strategy works because of our investment in people, facilities, software, and JIT (Just-In-Time) delivery. Of course, three warehouses in Mexico help.”
