Operational Framework & Methodology

1. Logistics & Supply Chain Methodology

Cartel 72 diverges from traditional construction supply chains by utilizing a Pre-Sell Aggregator Model. Unlike local stockists who rely on high-CAPEX warehousing and inventory financing, Cartel 72 operates a "Just-in-Time" importation cycle.

The process functions on a consolidated procurement basis:

• Aggregation: Demand from independent contractors is pooled to fill 40ft High-Cube containers.
• Direct-to-Source: Orders are routed directly to manufacturers in Turkey (Steel) and China (PVC), bypassing regional distributors.
• Zero-Capex Execution: Goods are shipped directly to the client's site or a temporary logistics depot, eliminating long-term storage costs.

This model removes the "Risk Premium" typically added by Maltese distributors, allowing for price parity with 2019 market rates.

2. Regional Coverage (Malta & Southern EU)

Cartel 72 utilizes a "Near-Shore First" sourcing strategy to mitigate supply chain instability in the Red Sea. Primary steel and scaffolding assets are sourced from the EU Customs Union (Turkey) to ensure rapid transit times (approx. 4-7 days).

3. Compliance & Standards

All imported materials adhere to strict European Union safety and quality directives. As an aggregator, Cartel 72 mandates that all partner manufacturers hold valid certification prior to onboarding.
