GEC originally began with a 10 acre site in Springfield which has grown to encompass over 60 acres of land with storage capacity for more than 750 truck loads of SYP logs. Today the Springfield site is the flagship facility of the GEC global export program and supports an additional five state-of-the-art export yards located throughout the Southeast. Combined; these six facilities have the capacity of loading more than 1,000 containers weekly for export.
GEC is the only fully integrated exporter of SYP in the Southeast. They provide a full range of services such as, the procurement of timber, all related documentation, securing export bookings, creating ocean bill of ladings, and providing phytosanitary certificates. As a licensed fumigator, GEC performs all government required fumigations on-site along with any required insect testing. Through their trucking partner, Freeport Transportation, GEC provides all container drayage between the six yards and the Georgia Ports Authority Garden City Container Terminal. It is within this full scope of services that GEC provides that allows savings to be passed along to our customers around the world.
