THE South Carolina Port Authority (SCPA) has announced that the "fastest-growing" memory foam bedding company in the United States has chosen the Port of Charleston to handle its east coast business.
Houston-based Sinomax specialises in home-furnishings, including pillows, toppers and mattresses, which are sold nationwide, an SCPA statement said.
The company, founded in 2000, began importing containers from China through the Port of Charleston in early January, and its local operation is described as being as essential to serve the growing south eastern market.
"The southeast is the most significant region for our company because of the growth potential," said Sinomax USA president Frank Chen. "We selected the Port of Charleston because of access to the region, the mix of shipping lines that serve the port and the team in place."
Third-party logistics provider Premier Logistics Solutions will handle the company's warehouse and transloading operations. It operates a 19,500-square metre warehouse near the SCPA's North Charleston Terminal.
Premier is responsible for picking up the cargo at the port, delivering the container to the warehouse, unloading the product from the shipping container for storage, segregating the products by retail distribution centre and loading the product into the appropriate trucks.
