Two days to send a complete packaging system from Schw\u00e4bisch Hall in South Germany to Dammam, Saudi Arabia \u2013 via airfreight, not really a big deal. And still, at the end of the day, every millimeter counted.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Militzer & M\u00fcnch wanted this to be a really impressive performance for this customer: Hamba-Gasti GmbH is a leading supplier of form, fill and seal machines specifically designed for the dairy and food industries. The company is part of the Italian IMA S.p.A.<\/p>\n

The task: difficult, but not impossible. Heavy-lift, out-of-gauge cargo, a complete packaging system including accessories, around 17,000 kilogram weight \u2013 to be sent to its destination in Saudi Arabia at short notice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Understandably huge was the surprise at the pick-up of the goods: the 17,000 kilogram cargo was stowed not in three, but instead in two, over-dimensioned, wooden crates. But packed like this, will the cargo even fit into the Boeing 747?<\/p>\n

Time constraints did not allow any alternative. Thus, the Militzer & M\u00fcnch team and the employees at Luxembourg Airport performed precision work to maneuver the boxes undamaged into the cargo hold of the airplane.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a nerve-wracking situation, but in the end everything went smoothly\u201d, says Felix Luz, Senior Sales Manager Militzer & M\u00fcnch Karlsruhe. \u201cWith the fast delivery and our commitment we were able to really convince our customer \u2013 follow-up orders are in prospect.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
