How beauty industry innovation suppliers, Presperse Corporation, smashed their sustainability goals and achieved supply chain excellence

Presperse is a trusted partner to the cosmetics and beauty manufacturing world and distributor of transformative ingredients and innovative formulas to leading cosmetic and beauty brands, all of which rely on robust supply chains. As a recognized leader in quality, research, sustainability and green chemistry, Presperse provides 400+ premium specialty ingredients to formulators of skincare, sun care, hair care and color cosmetics.

The Challenge

Presperse Corporation looked to Woodland Group to support a number of elements of their supply chain globally. The key areas that Woodland were able to mobilize and support on included helping to manage Presperse's multimodal shipping and fulfillment operations whilst driving towards mutual sustainability targets, as they expanded their business considerably into new products and markets.

The Solution

Sustainability Consultancy / Carbon Conscious Solutions

Woodland took a comprehensive approach to streamline Preseperse’ supply chain and using our local expert teams situated in the UK, US, Asia, and Europe, we were able to build effective solutions across a range of supply chain touchpoints. This included streamlining warehousing and fulfillment processes, chemical handling and drumming, and providing global air, ocean and road freight alternatives. Our dedicated customs teams assisted with the correct tariff classification and duty drawback programs globally, to save cost and safeguard the business to be compliant.

Woodland has been providing our in-depth sustainability consultancy services in support of Presperse’ green journey, involving accurate and detailed carbon emission reporting to help measure and manage their impact on the environment, which helped the brand improve their
