International

Hub One's International Business Unit was formed to provide a container shipping operation for McDonald's store items exported from the United States to countries which are served by local, in-country distribution centers. Store items that cannot be purchased locally can be exported from the United States ensuring quality standards are maintained at McDonald's restaurants worldwide.

Today, Hub One provides services to 52 countries, offering the same advanced capabilities as our domestic operations. That expertise is available to your organization as well.

How does it work?
The International Business Unit receives orders from our customers, then purchases the necessary items and loads ocean freight containers based on the receipt dates requested. We load dry, refrigerated or frozen containers at our hub facilities in the United States. We also have extensive experience shipping via airfreight.

By having personnel dedicated to the international market, we react immediately to local situations throughout the world that may affect our customers' ability to supply the stores with quality products. In essence, we add value to customers around the world by acting as a purchasing arm in the United States. 

A crucial advantage of working with Hub One is that we have trusted relationships with most U.S. suppliers. Combining our supplier relationships with our understanding of local laws and customs, we can meet our customers’ needs for content, quality, case language, and shelf life. We also work with our suppliers to ensure all paperwork documentation is complete and correct to ensure smooth customs clearance.

Whether you're opening stores in a new country, attempting to resolve a local quality issue, or providing a new menu offering, such as breakfast, in the market, we can help you be successful.
