GEFCO has organised dedicated time-critical shipments of protective equipment for a regional supplier of dental clinics and a large multinational distribution group in Romania.
Six tons of freight were transported from Shanghai to Frankfurt by air and onward to Romania by truck in three consignments containing a total of 1.25 million masks and 5,100 protective goggles.
Around 1 million masks will be available on the market, while the remaining 250,000 and the protective goggles will be distributed commercially to dental clinics and laboratories.
GEFCO was the only provider on the market able to organize these dedicated, time-critical shipments, which required hourly updates, real-time information on regulations, and accelerated fiscal and customs procedures.
GEFCO has been managing urgent deliveries worldwide to help customers cope with particularly high demand for critical medical and protective equipment amid the Covid-19 crisis. For example, the company has been transporting around 1,000 medical beds weekly from France to several European destinations.
GEFCO also remains committed to supporting customers from every industry, particularly car manufacturers. Since the start of the Covid-19 crisis, the company has operated multiple critical shipments for the automotive sector to prepare for the relaunch of manufacturing.
The company is determined to keep delivering on its promise to be “Partners, unlimited” by helping customers find supply chain solutions during these challenging times.
