From Santiago to Austin: Empowering Exporters and Moving Lithium Innovation

When a client in the lithium sector needed to send three containers from Santiago, Chile to Austin, Texas, it wasn’t just a shipment, it was a mission.
Inside: prototype machinery and piping, essential for testing and development by U.S.-based experts working on the future of lithium extraction and processing.But the technical cargo wasn’t the only challenge.

Our client didn’t just need freight services. They needed a genuine logistics partner, one who could understand their network, solve regional complexities, and empower the supply chain.The key: working hand-in-hand with Ingetesa Tech, a Chilean supplier that had never exported before.
