Gunnebo signs Metro-orders to China worth MEUR 4.8
Gunnebo Security Group has successfully secured orders for entrance control systems for the extension to Beijing Metro Systems as well as to the new lines in Tianjin (Line 3), Shenyang, Hangzhou and Suzhou. Total order value amounts to MEUR 4.8.
For all orders, Gunnebo will provide metro flap-gates, specially designed for high volume and safe use in metro stations. Gunnebo will in total deliver over 2,000 entry- and exit gates starting Q4 2010.
“So far there are eleven cities in China with a metro-system, and Gunnebo has provided ten of them with our efficient solutions for entrance control” says Mats Johansson,
Country Manager Gunnebo China.
“As we speak, ten more Chinese cities are planning to build metro-systems within the near future. Overall, the market for infrastructure investments is really booming in China right now, and I am pleased to note that Gunnebo is one of the leading suppliers of entrance control solutions to the Chinese mass-transit sector. Going forward, we can foresee great opportunities for this business to grow”, states Mats Johansson.
The gates that Gunnebo are providing to the Chinese metro-market have a reputation in managing high throughput-numbers, with proven reliability and durability. The gates were initially designed for use in the KCRC-metro-system in Hong Kong which created the regional benchmark, with subsequent installations in Beijing, Shanghai, and many other Metro systems throughout China.
Since mid-2010 Gunnebo has a sales company established in Shanghai, contact details on www.gunnebo.com.
