Agility captures contract for three major UAE defence shows
AGILITY, a global logistics provider headquartered in Kuwait, has been awarded a contract by Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company (ADNEC) to manage international freight and provide on-site handling services for three major defence shows.
The events are the 2017 and 2019 editions of the International Defence Exhibition and Conference (IDEX), the Naval Defence and Maritime Security Exhibition (NAVDEX), and the 2016, 2018 and 2020 editions of the Unmanned Systems Exhibition and Conference (UMEX).
The announcement is an immediate outcome of the five-year partnership that Agility Fairs & Events signed with ADNEC in August this year towards providing logistics and freight forwarding services to ADNEC's customers.
The company explained that as exclusive freight forwarder and on-site handling agent for the three major defense shows, Agility Fairs & Events will assist exhibitors and their contractors with logistical requirements and with shipment of exhibits to and from the events.
CEO, Agility Middle East and Africa, Elias Monem, said: "ADNEC's notable abilities in hosting world-class conferences and exhibitions will only grow in strength and scope with access to our offerings, which span air, ocean and road freight forwarding, warehousing, distribution, and specialized services for fairs and events.
"At NAVDEX, IDEX and UMEX, exhibitors will benefit from our capabilities in the special handling of defense and aerospace equipment, including aircraft of various sizes, jet engines, cockpit mock-ups, flight simulators, tanks, and other military hardware."
Acting Group CEO, ADNEC, Humaid Matar Al Dhaheri, said: "Over the years, IDEX, NAVDEX and UMEX have evolved to become among the largest defense shows worldwide, making freight forwarding an increasingly complex and difficult process given the enormous amount of military equipment showcased at these events. I am confident that Agility has the expertise and right resources to handle our detailed requirements in an efficient manner."
