Dimerco SFO Team Cuts Semiconductor Company’s Damaged Cargo Reports by 95%

When you ship precision semiconductor tools around the world, a cracked crate can mean more than just a visual blemish – it can delay delivery, upset high-stakes production timelines, and strain customer trust. For one of the world’s leading semiconductor capital equipment manufacturers, this was a recurring problem. The air freight team at Dimerco’s San Francisco freight forwarding office did more than just file damage reports; they rolled up their sleeves, investigated root causes, and tested multiple solutions. Ultimately, the SFO team identified the primary cause as vertical compression of stacked crates. By reinforcing the tops of crates with 2×4 strips, crates became load-bearing, and the weight of any stacked crates was safely distributed. The result: Damage reports were reduced by 95%.
