The Middle East operations of Gefco, a global player in logistics for manufacturers and an European leader in automotive logistics, has exceeded trade targets with China by more than 40 per cent in the first half of 2016.

Against a forecast of 1,500 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU), the company achieved 2,150 TEUs by the end of Q2, with an increasing number of shipments from 11 cities and ports across the country including Tiangin, Qingdao, Beijing, Ningbo, Wuhan and Hong Kong, said a statement from Gefco.

The goods, mostly vehicles, furniture, industrial equipment and machine parts are destined for markets across the entire Middle East and Africa (MEA) region, it said.

Stefano Pollotti, managing director of Gefco Middle East, said: “We have had tremendous results from China so far this year and our delivery has been exceptional.”

“Complete end-to-end services are constantly improving in terms of transport options, speed, monitoring and security and our clients have the very best support across the board,” he said.

“Our growing reach across the Chinese market means our company is in an excellent position to increase business even further. Also a full range of transport solutions from China offers the best transport solutions by trailer, rail and road and all Westbound multimodal routings,” he added.

“Thanks to our company’s global network and our partners’ footprint, we can open new frontiers in the Far East to our customers,” he concluded. – TradeArabia News Service
