The case Balu carries to Las Vegas

The polymer lane

The single strongest argument the Overseas Partners desk has, and the reason an agent anywhere in the world should want WorldZone at the Gulf end.

Why this wins meetings

GCC polymer sells EXW and FOB. On those terms the buyer appoints the freight forwarder — not the producer. So every tonne leaving the Gulf needs someone at the origin end acting for a forwarder somewhere else. That is exactly what WorldZone is, and it is why this is a reason for them to want us, rather than a favour we are asking for.
