Bells export from the UK to The University Of Chicago

Large metal bell to be exported to Chicago US

Our team had the pleasure of working with John Taylor & Co., the world’s largest working bell foundry based in Loughborough. Taylor Bells have been crafting their iconic bells for more than 180 years, and since 2019, we’ve been proud to support them with specialist export packing and freight services.

For this project, our team designed and built bespoke timber cases, crates, and pallets to secure the bells and prevent any movement during transport to the University of Chicago. After packing, our team carefully loaded the containers and handed them over to IM Freight Forwarding, who managed the full logistics operation from the UK to the USA.

Each bell featured the names of notable alumni, making this a unique shipment that required careful planning and close attention to detail from start to finish. The bells travelled across the Atlantic, moved through North America by rail, and arrived at the University of Chicago by truck.

We’re always proud to support customers like John Taylor & Co., who combine traditional craftsmanship with global reach. This project clearly shows how IM Export Services and IM Freight Forwarding work together to deliver seamless, turnkey export solutions for our clients.
