15. The company partakes in would be trucking,
for all transport of goods throughout their channels of distribution
Trucking is the most efficient form this company
because as they have operations split up in different continents
Colgate Palmolive co-operates with a global
shipping company called Magellan Transport
Logistics. Magellan Transport is very beneficial to
Colgate Palmolive so they're using only one
transport company for all of their operations.
