Finnish interior detailing and finishing products specialist Duuri Oy has appointed GAC Hong Kong as its supply chain partner in the Far East, responsible for handling the full spectrum of logistics.

GAC Hong Kong is Duuri’s single contact point for all Far East supply chain matters, including communication, operation and payments. It will handle full container shipments to Helsinki from Foshan via Nansha Port in Guangzhou, and from Penang, as well as LCL shipments from Ningbo and occasional material imports from Germany to Duuri Oy’s Foshan suppliers.

“We work closely with our sister companies in China and Malaysia for shipments coming in from their countries, liaise with the suppliers on cargo readiness, negotiate the best rates, arrange vessel bookings and finally work with our counterparts in Finland to arrange the deliveries to our customers in Helsinki,” said Iiro Mikkola, commercial manager of logistics at GAC Hong Kong.

Duuri Oy will receive constant status updates from GAC Hong Kong, saving time, effort and money.

“It is important to have a logistics partner who can monitor all our cargo movements and keep us updated at every step of the supply chain,” said Jari Plattonen, purchasing and logistics manager of Duuri Oy. “This mode of operation enables us to cut out a chain of middlemen in supply chain management and deal direct with GAC for everything from logistics follow-up to billing.”
