Starting up an SPV Platform in the Horn of Africa

REQUIREMENT

The contract is about the provision of a reliable and rapidly deployable supply chain management and logistics to support the US Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and US Military on-going missions.

SOLUTION

EFS Ebrex was assigned in response to a security outbreak in the Horn of Africa region and the subsequent intensification of the military presence in the area.

EFS European and Dubai based teams mobilized immediately to import fresh food, fruit, and vegetables as well as water and assorted drinks by air and sea. The whole supply chain – including warehouses for fresh and frozen food storage and distribution hubs – was deployed within two weeks. Each unit features water and shatter-proof lighting, temperature-controlled buffer rooms, emergency exits, smoke detectors, three power points, and full insulation for temperature and pest control. A dedicated delivery truck fleet with multiple temperature capabilities moved inventory throughout the region using security-vetted personnel. An aircraft cargo handles deliveries from the USA, Europe, and the Middle East into the Horn of Africa to even remote locations.
