Around 1m masks will be available on the market, while the remaining 250,000 and the protective goggles will be distributed commercially to dental clinics and laboratories.

“I’m proud of our team, who managed to develop and implement a unique solution for customers in these turbulent times,” said Gefco Romania Branch Manager Air & Sea, Radu Adascaliei.

“Besides finding the right transport capacity, we used our know-how and international presence to provide customs and tax services through Gefco’s Frankfurt hub, which considerably speeded up delivery of this vital cargo.”

Gefco has been managing urgent deliveries worldwide to help customers cope with particularly high demand for critical medical and protective equipment amid the COVID-19 crisis. For example, the company has been transporting around 1,000 medical beds weekly from France to several European destinations.
