Agility, a leading global logistics provider, has been appointed by Gunnebo, the world’s leading specialist in security solutions, as the exclusive forwarder for all its transport flows from China to Europe. China is a key expansion market for Gunnebo and with a strong presence and in-depth understanding of emerging markets, Agility offers invaluable industry expertise.

Since 2009, Agility has handled Gunnebo’s road freight in Europe and project logistics in emerging markets like Latin America and Africa. As part of the extension of this strategic partnership, Agility manages Gunnebo’s freight deliveries from China to Europe via air, sea and combined sea/air routes.

The cooperation with Agility allows Gunnebo to consolidate shipments from China, simplify the logistics administration and cut costs through higher volumes. The collaboration with an exclusive partner with an integrated business solutions approach also results in an optimization of Gunnebo’s entire supply chain operations across continents, enhances cost transparency and deploys new monitoring and track-and-trace tools for efficient process control.

“Agility understands our international procurement strategy. The account managers at Agility haven’t just set-up a transport process – they see themselves as our 'eyes and ears' on the ground in China.  They support us by creating an effective and efficient supply chain into Europe. That was precisely the kind of partner we were looking for: one who can keep step with our growth and support us worldwide with a high standard of integrated services,” explains Andreas Wramsmyr, group logistics director at Gunnebo.
