GLB Copenhagen/Odense is 3-time winner of The Gazelle Award

Posted on 18 August, 2017 | by admin

This prize recognises businesses which more than double their revenue or gross profit in period of 4 years

We would like to congratulate YOYO Global Freight, as a 3 time winner of the Gazelle Award.

The Gazelle awards were launched by The Daily Børsen (the equivalent of The Financial Times in Denmark) in 1995 in a bid to identify Denmark’s growth elite. This prize recognises businesses which more than double their revenue or gross profit in a period of 4 years. During the selection process, very strict criteria are applied to the more than 760,000 registered companies in Denmark. The demands on activity and corporate form, profitability and continuous growth reduced the number of candidates to a mere 6,000 companies, of which less than 1,800 achieved more than 100% growth in 2016.

YOYO has been awarded Gazelle recognition in 2014, 2015 and 2016 and they are well on their way to qualifying for a fourth year in a row. A big congratulations to the team!

Due to this growth, the number of staff has also increased, with YOYO now planning to move to their new headquarters, which will be ready by summer 2018.

GLB Port Klang gets creative

Posted on 30 June, 2017 | by admin

Our GLB agent in Port Klang recently handled the ex-work shipment of a boiler from Port Klang to Semarang, but this shipment turned out to be more challenging than initially expected.

Famor Malaysia Sdn Bhd managed the loading, lashing and securing for this buyer consolidated ex-work shipment (3 shippers & 1 buyer). However, after packing the cargo, the boiler machine was 8ft 8inches in height, which resulted in over height. Their client did not want the additional cost of an open top 40′, so Famor Malaysia Sdn Bhd had to be creative and came up with the solution of cutting a portion of the top of the container to accommodate the cargo.
