Joxcel Corporation is a company that sells an enormous amount of fine jewelry worldwide from its headquarters in Paris, France.Presently 10% of their revenues come from sales in the United States.Joxcel Corporation would like to grow the business by about 200% over the next three years.Presently, a majority of their product is kept in a private warehouse in France.
While the shipments to United States will always be relatively small in size due to the cost and nature of the product, Joxcel Corporation would still like to take advantage of any possible distribution efficiencies by sending their shipments to a distribution center in United States that can then package their small shipments with other jewelry shipments headed towards common retailers and/or wholesalers.In order to do so they'll need to make accommodations for shipment, find retail and wholesale companies willing to distribute their product, find intermediaries to both help export the product out of France and help import the product into the United States.
