C.H. Robinson helps ensure Victoria remains well stocked with PPE

C.H. Robinson and their critical shipping partner, ANL, continue to work behind the scenes to ensure that
Victorians have a sufficient supply of personal protection equipment (PPE) should a second wave of COVID-19
affect the state.


Navigating the logistical complexities of importing PPE from China was a challenge that C.H. Robinson, one of
the world’s largest third-party logistics providers, easily solved thanks to its extensive customs expertise.

With stockpiles sufficient, C.H. Robinson had the task of ensuring the levels of PPE remained that way. With
space on sea freight a premium for Asian routes, C.H. Robinson enlisted the support of their critical shipping
partner ANL to locate and allocate priorty space.

Through C.H. Robinson’s coordination with their partner ANL , the first shipment of examination gloves
successfully made their way to the Health Department’s storage facility where they will be readily available for
all Victorian healthcare workers.

“Hospitals require a constant flow of PPE through their supply chain and, with the initial stockpiles replenished,
we were able to utilise more cost effective transportation methods to ensure that Victoria stays prepared for
whatever the upcoming months may hold. We’re proud to be a part of the team that ensures that Victorians continue to be protected during these
uncertain times,” C.H. Robinson Vice-President Oceania Andrew Coldrey said.

When approached by C.H. Robinson, ANL was eager to support and facilitate the shipment of PPE for
Victorians.

“At ANL we are grateful for opportunities where we are able to support the welfare of our community such as
this,” Chris Sidwell, ANL’s Director Strategic and Global Accounts said.

“We’re proud to have been called on to support this important shipment, with more in the pipeline, for C.H.
Robinson as a fowarder and their end customers.”
