C.H. Robinson has helped move 225,000 masks from Shanghai to distribute across Australia to support essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Logistics have taken on a new meaning for all Australians who are concerned about shortages and running out of essentials.
Manufacturing, by and large is continuing, but getting products to the end user can be problematic.
Last month C.H. Robinson began delivery of essential items in a bid to unplug the distribution bottleneck and keep retail staff safe in the workplace.
A spokesperson for C.H. Robinson said the company pulled out all stops and successfully orchestrated the delivery of 225,000 disposable face masks to help protect a major retailer’s store and warehouse staff, ensuring they could continue their inspirational work keeping Australians fed.
“This was an incredible effort by the world’s largest third party logistics company, which meant that these vital goods were delivered to staff all across Australia by 31 March, a week ahead of schedule,” the spokesperson said.
