How One Big Idea Reshaped Global Trade – And How We Bring That Spirit to Your Anode Supply
Streamlining complexity for faster, more reliable operations—just like the shipping container revolution.
Imagine Thanksgiving in 1937.
A frustrated truck driver watched countless bales and crates being manually loaded onto a ship. Eight hours passed, and his truck stood idle costing him time, money, and opportunity.
That manual cargo handling was a bottleneck. Slow, risky, and expensive, it held trade back. Malcolm McLean saw the problem: moving goods piece by piece was simply unsustainable and silly.
In a spark of inspiration, McLean asked: what if you could load an entire truck trailer onto a ship – all at once? That radical thought became the standardized shipping container. A simple solution with massive impact.
The results speak volumes: shipping costs dropped by over 90%, transit times shrank, and global trade exploded in scale and speed. McLean didn’t just invent a box; he unlocked modern commerce.
