Wolfgang Gorner, MD of industrial door supplier Hörmann UK has released a statement through the press to all customers. The statement in full reads as follows:
It is clear that COVID-19 presents an ever increasing threat to the health and wellbeing of the nation and all businesses are having to react to an ever changing situation. As such, we have implemented and are currently reviewing responsible measures to sufficiently protect our workforce, ensure the health and wellbeing of our customers and maintain our supply of product.
As matters stand today, we have full supply from our German factories of all Domestic and Industrial Products. Whilst restrictions have been placed on certain borders out of Germany, this has not resulted in any of our product being stopped, or held up. For our Domestic customers, we still have additional stock in reserve. For Industrial customers, we are ensuring that all finished product is being immediately shipped from our factories.
Following the guidance of the government, WHO and NHS, we have implemented strict quarantine rules for all drivers delivering to our headquarters in Coalville. This will reduce the interaction with staff on site, minimising the potential risk of infection spread. Working closely with our partner, Sanderson Transport, drivers operating out of Coalville are also following strict hygiene procedures to further reduce potential risk.
We are also implementing measures to support social distancing, and as of immediate effect, all sales staff have been instructed to prioritise other methods of communication over face to face meetings, where possible. All Domestic Field Engineers have also been recalled to ensure we adequately minimise the risk of infection.
These processes will ensure that as a business we can continue to provide our customers with the same level of support, whilst simultaneously safeguarding their health and wellbeing, along with our suppliers and employees.
These are unprecedented times, but please rest assured we are doing our upmost to remain operational and maintain the same level of supply to our customers, while minimising any potential risks.
Your Hörmann UK contacts are available via phone call and email and we continue to operate a ‘business as usual’ approach. We are continuously monitoring the situation and will provide further information as appropriate.
We would like to thank you for your cooperation during this difficult time and look forward to moving forwards together.
Kind Regards,
Wolfgang Gorner

Exporta have expanded their collapsible pallet box range with the addition of a brand-new entry model version of their successful Hercules box. The Hercules pallet box is unrivalled due to its unique design; designed to be compatible with other popular pallet boxes on the market, stackable when open or closed. This makes Hercules versatile and robust, ideal for continual use in a pool scenario.
The new version comes in both standard pallet size (1200mmx1000mm) and Euro pallet sizes (1200mmx800mm) with low sides of 805mm and 800mm respectively. The lower sides do mean that volume capacity is reduced, but this also makes them easier to load, unload, and access the contents inside without the need for additional doors.
They also come with a new base option, offering four feet rather than the three runners. The four feet option reduces the overall weight of the boxes which makes them easier to handle and move.
The added value that comes from these pallet boxes is that they can be combined with an RFID tracking solution; this can be integrated with either a Warehouse Management System (WMS) or Transport Management System (TMS). This asset tracking will prevent losses and theft. Combine this with personalisation in the form of a company logo, and the likelihood of these pallet boxes ‘disappearing’ is significantly reduced.
With the addition of the basic model, Exporta has so many combinations and can easily configure a box to meet your needs. Different bases, heights and number of door configurations are all available. Exporta’s new-build a box option will also be available online in the coming months.
You can purchase one of these pallet boxes for £160* directly from Exporta’s website with next day delivery. If you are looking to secure a large quantity, contact Exporta for a quote, and one of their experts will help you find the right product.
Don Marshall, Head of Marketing & eCommerce says:
“These boxes are fantastic. They are simple to use and robust. I recall first using this type of collapsible pallet box when I worked at B&Q many years ago, and I am amazed at how much the design and usability have improved to make them a must-have in any closed-loop operation.”

Logistics property player Prologis has released an assessment report on the effects of the coronavirus outbreak on the real estate sector.
Unsurprisingly, the research suggests the likelihood of an imminent recession but points to the underlying strength of the sector, driven by e-commerce. Intriguingly, it points to supply chain managers targeting resilience over efficiency, driven by the need for wider inventories.

Geodis has established a number of air charter services to assist customers with urgent shipments during the ongoing Coronavirus crisis. In addition, rail alternatives are being offered to/from China.
Whilst ocean freight continues to be disrupted and air cargo options severely restricted by established carriers cancelling scheduled flights, Geodis is providing alternative means to move customers’ cargoes between China and Europe as well as on Transatlantic routes.
The first of the air charter services departed from Frankfurt (Germany) on a one-way to Shanghai on the 12th February. In order to facilitate the resurgence in westbound freight out of China, Geodis quickly followed up on the 21st with the first round trip service departing from Liege (Belgium), again with the destination Shanghai Pudong International. As of the 28th February weekly round trip flights were established from Frankfurt, with Shanghai departures each Tuesday. This schedule will remain in place throughout the month of March when consideration of a further extension will be made and is being complemented by flights from Hong Kong to Europe.
The company has continued with its newly introduced direct, dedicated service from Hong Kong to Guadalajara, Mexico, through March. The next flight will depart Hong Kong on the 22nd.
It also maintains its offering of rail solutions from major cities in China.
To further assist customers during this period of disruption, GEODIS is issuing a daily Advisory Bulletin on the Coronavirus Outbreak. This can be found on GEODIS’ website here.
