What are the recommended logistics operators and suppliers for international distribution routes?

Members have shared contacts and recommendations for specific international logistics and supplier needs, though availability varies by route and partner capacity. **Logistics & Distribution:** - **FWS** — contact Luke Brown (member of group); handles distribution logistics - **PRODEX** — member reached out for wine freight from Provence to Greece (2 pallets) - **Kukla** — unable to service Provence-to-Greece route; check before committing - For **Abu Dhabi exports**, members indicated interest but no specific operator was named in discussions - For **Mexico**, **India**, and **Nigeria** routes — members asked for recommendations but no confirmed operators were provided in the excerpts **Supplier & Production Partners:** - **Bone Idyll** (contact: sam@boneidyll.co.uk) — offers both liquid production and small can runs (125ml); confirmed capacity for 2000+ cans for cocktails - **Printed Cup Company** (printedcupcompany.com) — fast turnaround (within a month) for custom cup production - **freckl.** and **noissue** — recommended for custom printed packing tape with low MOQs **Caveats:** Several routes (Mexico, India, Nigeria, Abu Dhabi) had members seeking contacts but receiving no substantive recommendations, suggesting these may be underserved within the community network. The Provence-to-Greece shipment was still in-progress at the time of discussion, so capacity confirmation needed.
