In 1979, while the world bought their first Sony Walkmans and listened to Michael Jackson’s ‘Rock with you’, or Pink Floyd’s ‘Another Brick in the Wall’, Lödige Industries was busy installing a material handling system over at Singapore Changi Airport. That 46-year-old system (installed for dnata two years after it began operating in Singapore), is now undergoing an upgrade in order for it to continue to run for a great many more years. Its performance to date has been very reliable and this particular system enjoys the status of being the first such system ever installed by Lödige in Asia. And such a long-standing relationship between two companies (which extends well beyond Singapore) speaks for the quality of Lödige’s products. The logistics systems provider is currently carrying out comprehensive maintenance services for dnata’s entire cargo handling systems (cargo handling, pallet handling, cool chain systems, etc.) at Singapore’s Changi Airport, in line with a cooperation agreement extension. Lödige Industries is also developing additional solutions to support dnata’s local cargo operations.
Sam Gould, Head of Cargo at dnata Singapore, commented: “Our partnership with Lödige Industries is the best we could have chosen, not only because they have extensive experience and knowledge in this field, but also because they understand our needs and have consistently proven themselves to have a high level of reliability. With this critical service, we will ensure that our cargo handling systems are ready for long-term operation, enabling us to handle growing cargo volumes and maintain the high-quality standards required by our customers. This partnership, which has grown over decades, is exceptional and fills us with both pride and ambition to uphold our high quality with every new project and to continue our collaboration in the long term.”
Ranga Jayaweera, General Manager for Singapore, for Lödige Industries, said: “Maintaining a fundamentally functioning system of good quality and adapting it to new challenges through upgrades can be the most effective solution in this case. We are very pleased to support dnata once again.”
