At a meeting in Seoul, South Korea early September 1999 Between Martec International of New York, USA, Van Doorn Container Parts BV. Of Rotterdam, Netherlands, Gavan Container Products Pty Ltd. of Sydney, Australia and Gavan Container Products Ltd., Auckland, New Zealand The formation of the “Intermodal Equipment Alliance” (IEA) was agreed.

The Alliance brings together the largest worldwide Intermodal equipment suppliers into a collective international purchasing and sales Alliance.

Martec through its numerous USA office, its Central American subsidiary in Costa Rica and a range of agents covers all North and South American Ports. Van Doorn covers the Benelux range through its office in Rotterdam, has a major distribution network in most European port cities and also has representation in South America. The Gavan group of companies covers all States and territories in Australia and New Zealand through regional offices and stock points, Gavan also covers the pacific Islands, Papua New Guinea and the Island of Mauritius.

The objects of the Alliance are to supply quality Intermodal equipment, spare parts and accessories to the worldwide container repair, Intermodal and shipping sectors. The Alliance has been formed to ensure that the parts and equipment supplied to these sectors are of the quality and standards required by the industry. Recognizing the difficulties the container owners and operators have had in the past with the unavailability of certain products globally, it is the Intermodal Equipment Alliance’s intention to address and reduce this problem of container “down time” and unavailability ensuring adequate stocks of container parts are held throughout the world to achieve this aim the members of the Alliance have obtained

Representation from major manufactures and vendors of container parts and accessories in order to offer this global representation and supply.

Container repair depots and equipment owners and operators can be assured that the Intermodal Equipment Alliance will facilitate the supply of parts to enable the container industry to use the correct materials, at competitive pricing, and thus satisfy the requirements of their customers.
