As the transporation industry has slowly but surely been forced into radical modernisation, small companies have experienced considerable financial and commercial pressures in providing the necessary full transportation facilities. Furthermore, the application of increasingly stringent security procedures and the need for ISO9002 quality certification in many countries, as well as competition for capacity and good rates from carriers have made it harder for such companies to survive. Financial backing became an essential factor to enable forwarders to provide the many facilties required by their customers. During the last decades, air cargo has become accepted as an ideal transportatio mode for a wide range of goods, computers and computer parts, electronic components and many types of perishables, as well as large and heavy machinery. The accessibility of new markets has made the world much smaller and has caused the shippers to become more demanding, expecting a very high level of just-in-time service and more and more door-to-door collection and deliveries. the long freight forwarder faces increasing difficulty in doing business within this market concept. Thus WACO, with its strong worldwide structure, is able to perform internationally but with local expertise, a formula that has proved highly successful and which offers a platform for future development.
