ELSO currently purchases bulk quantities of American style products, which it receives via sea freight from the United States, and subsequently sells units to American Diplomatic Posts throughout the Europe, Africa, and Asia. In an effort to streamline its supply chain, ELSO seeks major brand name manufacturers with operations in continental Europe that produce appliances destined for the American marketplace (120V 50Hz). Ideally, ELSO hopes to significantly reduce delivery lead times while maintaining the major-brand name quality (Maytag, GE, Whirlpool, etc) that its customers expect and demand.
