Geodis supports rising medical company
The Singapore-based enterprise Labmed has entrusted Geodis to support the company's growing activity in new markets by delivering urgently needed PPEs from Asia to the Covid-19 'hot-spots' of Europe and North America.
Geodis provides Labmed with customs brokerage, short-term storage solutions and transport management services from Labmed's factory in China via a distribution hub in Singapore to a wide array of international destinations including India, Malaysia, Germany and the United States.
The partnership between Labmed and Geodis began in early May 2020, with the immediate need to swiftly react to fast-changing market demands and devise flexible end-to-end supply chain solutions.
Labmed has been called upon to significantly increase its production of surgical masks, sanitising gel and other PPE at its own plant in Dong Guan, Southern China.
From initial small shipments of 10 t of sanitizer to India to bulk supplies of millions of masks to Germany, Labmed's pipeline of PPE has grown rapidly to include other parts of South-East Asia, Europe, Latin America and the United States. (mw)
