August 16, 2004
STOCKHOLM, Sweden, August 16, 2004 – Envirotainer,
world leader in the development, manufacture and leasing
of temperature controlled air-freight containers, has appointed
its first General Sales Agent. Operating from its offices
in Mexico City, Grupo Fidalex SA, will sell the full range
of Envirotainer container leasing services to the Mexican
market, as well as the company’s recently launched
Cool Chain Management services.
Commenting on the appointment Magnus Welander, CEO of Envirotainer,
said “The appointment of our first General Sales Agency
is a significant step in the further development of our business
model and represents a clear opportunity to extend our existing
global coverage to a growing market. I see significant opportunities
for us with the experience that Grupo Fidalex has in the
Mexican market and we expect to grow in this market with
more than 100% in the next 12 months. Furthermore, we intend
to extend our GSA model to other locations before the end
of 2004.”
The cooperation between Envirotainer & Grupo Fidalex
extends to the appointment of a dedicated sales resource
that will allow Mexican shippers of temperature sensitive
commodities such as healthcare, bioscience and perishable
foods, to ensure their products arrive in the optimum condition.
Alexandre Surman, Managing Director of Grupo Fidalex said “We
are delighted to have been appointed by Envirotainer to represent
them in this important market and we are confident of a solid
business relationship upon which we can grow. Together with
the recent opening of an Envirotainer Inventory point to
pick-up containers in Mexico City, we will be able to offer
Mexican exporters and importers an improved logistics service’’.
Grupo Fidalex has been chosen to represent Envirotainer
in Mexico with effect from 1 August 2004.
