Welsh food for Middle East
The Welsh temperature-controlled storage and distribution company Wild Water Group (WWG), has appointed GAC as its international freight forwarding partner, as from 2019.
Under the alliance agreement, from this month (January), GAC will provide a range of freight forwarding services and draw on its international reach, resources and experience to help the Wild Water Group pursue international import and export opportunities for its customers.
As part of its expansion plan, Wild Water boosted its operation with the purchase of a 12,000 sqm storage and distribution facility in Aberbargoed, with the support of the Welsh government.
The alliance with GAC opens up close associations with airline carriers such as Qatar Airways, which have already seen the potential of Cardiff international airport as a major freight hub. The partnership will provide end-to-end cold chain services, initially focusing on the Middle East. (mw)
