Internаtiоnаl Lune Hаrvest Cоmpany is a cоmpany that sells a large amount of farm equipment (tractors) and similar machinery worldwide from its headquarters in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Presently 10% of their revenues come from sales in the United States. International Lune Harvest Company would like to grow the business by 40% over the next three years. Presently, most of their product is kept in an owned warehouse in the Netherlands. While the shipments to United States will always be relatively large, bulky and somewhat heavy due to the cost and nature of the equipment, International Lune Harvest Company 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 handle, display and market their farm equipment with other shipments headed towards common agriculture retailers and/or wholesalers.
