Over the next two years, AJW will collaborate closely to implement an innovative logistics model, integrating cutting-edge technology for enhanced efficiency and seamless accommodation of high growth.

“The completion of our largest logistics tender underscores our dedication to excellence and innovation,” added Swift. “This move aims to simplify and optimise our supply chain operations, boosting efficiency, alleviating complexity, and managing high growth effectively – it’s about growth at pace, grounded in strong operational foundations.”

Driven by the need for faster logistics activities and enhanced connectivity, AJW’s strategy positions the company for sustained growth and operational excellence. This transformative approach focuses on robust and resilient operational capabilities.

GBA Global Solutions Managing Director, Pete Wilkinson commented, “The management team of GBA Global Solutions are delighted to be given the opportunity to support with the simplification and optimization of AJW supply chain and are looking forward to furthering our collaboration by extending upon the Airside Logistics Services we have been providing for the past five years.”

Daniela Firmani, CEO of GB Malpensa Logistics Srl commented, “We are proud of the results achieved during our 20 years of business, that brought us to be present all over the world. We are convinced that the commercial partnership with AJW further strengthens our presence on the aeronautical parts logistics market; the commercial union between GB Malpensa Logistics Srl and AJW will allow us to fully satisfy every need of our customers and therefore represents our strength.”

AJW Group’s digitalisation initiative will augment logistics capacity by over 50% within the same timeframe, demonstrating the company’s commitment to innovation and competitiveness.

The phased implementation of these contracts, which commenced in October 2023, marks a significant milestone in AJW’s history, promising to propel logistics operations to new heights and ensure continued growth.
