A South Africa-based self-lubricated polymer bearings and bushings manufacturer, Vesconite Bearings (vesconite.com), is proud that lost packages are becoming a thing of the past. This is following the introduction three years ago of shocking pink packaging colors for all its outbound shipments. Chairperson Dr. Jean-Patrick Leger had found that parcels were frequently lost after hand-over from the courier company to the airlines.
“It was unbelievable — sometimes shipments weighing tons would just disappear, only to be found months later in an airport warehouse hundreds of thousands of miles away from the original routing,” he says.
