IMC Companies Opens New Container Storage Facility in Long Beach
We see the real-life effects of the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused havoc in the supply chain.
At IMC Companies, we needed to think outside of the box to quickly establish a loaded container yard outside the nation’s largest ports to meet our customer’s needs while providing relief to the congested SOCAL port facilities.
