Freight Brokers and Silicon Chips

The freight broker industry acts as the middleman in the shipping sector. They are also known to be third party transport providers. Freight brokers help customers connect with trucking and shippers. It is essential that freight brokers be available to help you move goods all across the country. There are literally hundreds of shippers who offer thousands of services. It is easy to locate a shipper with freight brokers.

The silicon chip sector is a growing market that has helped fuel the Internet boom of late 1990s. Silicon chips are the basis of all types of computers as well as hand held devices such as cell phones, PDAs, even watches and some household appliances.

SFB will specialize in shipping silicon chips and will be an important player in the global freight brokerage market. Silicon chips are very specific, unusual cargo that requires special attention. The chips need to be kept within a limited range of temperature or humidity. These requirements are not the only ones that silicon chip companies must meet. SFB will gain market share quickly by focusing solely on silicon chips. They will become the most trusted broker for chips.

The chip industry is made up of two distinct customers: the manufacturers of chips and the purchasers of chips. The manufacturers are based in the USA, however some of them produce in the States while others farm out production overseas and them import them. The main chip purchasers are Motorola, IBM, Intel.
