Commenting on the acquisition, Warren Erfmann, Barloworld Logistics CEO for Middle East and Asia, says, "In airfreight, Flynt is one of the top privately held freight forwarders in Hong Kong, which is very impressive in such a large market. By combining their activities with Swift's in the region we will significantly enhance our ability to provide supply chain solutions to customers in the Middle East, Europe and Africa.
Paul Stuiver, Barloworld Logistics CEO, says, "The acquisition forms another link in providing multimodal solutions in the global logistics arena.”
