Global Procurement and Logistics Support
Culmen International provides procurement services for our customers, identifying manufacturers and suppliers in the U.S. and abroad for critical equipment. We provide technical analysis and comparative assessments of equipment alternatives to identify optimal trade-offs between cost, equipment performance, delivery schedule, usability and sustainability. Culmen procures and consolidates items from multiple suppliers at our freight forwarding warehouses, where we perform receipt inspections and repack products for international shipment.
Our personnel manage the export and import licensing process, including International Traffic in Arms (ITAR) licenses with Department of State (DOS) and Commerce Control List (CCL) licenses with Department of Commerce. We have network of international freight forwarders, customs brokers and shippers that enable us to provide surface or air transport anywhere in the world, customs clearance in the U.S. and abroad, and delivery direct to the customer or end user overseas.
