At Microtest, international logistics is much more than just a service—it is a strategic pillar. As a major player in the microelectronics and semiconductor equipment industry, we manage complex supply chains on a global scale, with a constant focus on precision, efficiency, and environmental impact.
A Global Import-Export Network
Microtest collaborates with international partners in strategic regions such as:
- The United States, Taiwan, Singapore, Israel, and Japan for distant origins.
- Europe (Italy, Germany, United Kingdom) for close collaboration.
- France and North Africa for outbound flows.
We optimize every step of our inbound and outbound workflows to ensure our customers receive the best balance in terms of cost, lead time, and quality.
Transport and Unloading of Technical Machinery
We offer comprehensive logistics management, from the factory gate to final delivery.
For equipment that is bulky, fragile, or requires a specific environment (such as cleanrooms), we work with specialized companies to:
- Organize complex unloading operations.
- Manage constraints such as narrow passages or limited turning radii.
Each step is taken to provide a that is seamless and transparent to our customers.
We work with strong partners for our logistics flows, whether for sea freight, air freight, express parcels, road transport in groupage or special charter for emergencies.
Air – sea – express imports
For our equipment, we generally work in overhead and triangular configurations. We schedule pick-ups from our partners and monitor their arrival, customs clearance and delivery to destination without transit through our premises. The whole process is transparent for our customers, who have only Microtest to deal with. It’s only thanks to the trust we’ve built up with our manufacturing partners at the outset, and our transport service partners for the operational side, that we can offer you successful, controlled operations.
For consumables and small equipment, we work mainly with express carriers, with rigorous monitoring of batches in transit, which pass through our warehouse before being checked and reshipped.
Road transport – groupage or chartering
Export and domestic deliveries: equipment leaving our warehouse is delivered by road if we organize the transport, with a lead time of 24 to 72 hours depending on the destination.
Services requiring customs clearance may be extended depending on administrative processing times.
Thanks to our meticulous organization and the reliable lead times of our manufacturing partners, we are able to arrange transport in advance and secure deliveries.
A Strong Commitment to Environmental Responsibility
At Microtest, we incorporate environmentally friendly practices into all of our logistics operations:
- Consolidation of imports to minimize multiple shipments.
- Prioritize maritime transport over air freight whenever possible.
- Reducing and Recycling Packaging in-house to minimize waste.
We realize that we’re still a long way from achieving the perfect balance, but every day we take another step toward reducing our carbon footprint while ensuring first-rate customer service.
