Logistical Superiority
ANSAC is committed to providing international glassmakers, soap and detergent manufacturers, chemical processors and other users with quality soda ash when and where they need it. Given this, we maintain a large international network of service representatives, agents and distributors who are committed to delivering outstanding logistical support to our customers.
As the export cooperative for the four U.S. soda ash producers, ANSAC enhances the global sales and marketing operations for these producers by creating distribution economies of scale. We have the expertise, resources and personnel to ensure timely delivery, clean transfers and cost-effective distribution of bulk quantities of soda ash.
ANSAC soda ash is exported on qualified ships that are contracted with first class owners. Additionally, ANSAC uses several flag ships dedicated to soda ash transport. A constant, steady supply of soda ash leaves our ports located in Portland, Oregon and Port Arthur, Texas.
For land transport we use rail cars that are used exclusively for soda ash service. All ships, loading facilities and rail cars are thoroughly inspected for cleanliness and suitability for soda ash.
ANSAC makes an extraordinary effort to maintain quality at every point of the distribution process. Given this, we work with selected distributors in many countries who operate modern warehousing and redelivery systems. Since the shipment of bulk product across oceans is an inherently risk-based venture, ANSAC maintains a global network of partners who maintain local inventories of our soda ash. By doing this, we are able to preclude our customers from experiencing a temporary lack of supply due to weather-related shipping delays.
We understand that our customers depend on soda ash for their production needs. We are committed to providing superior logistical support throughout the supply chain in an effort to exceed our customers’ expectations.
