About us
The world has a consolidation problem and Silq is out to fix it. In 2021, the average container that arrived in the US was 64.6% full. That's equivalent to 5,000 TEUs of air in a 15,000 TEU container ship. Or 8.5 million empty containers each year 🤯 . Our solution lies at the intersection of factory insights, shipping expertise, and technology. We work with our clients to identify consolidation opportunities in their supply chains and help them eliminate waste. By improving container utilization levels, we help our clients save money and reduce our industry's carbon footprint.
