Gunnebo wins new metro-orders in China

The cities of Tianjin and Shenyang show continuous confidence in Gunnebo Security Group, who recently won the contract to install entrance control solutions for the new line 2 in both cities. Total order value amounts to some MEUR 1.5.

“Overall, the market for infrastructure investments continues to expand rapidly 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 metro-sector,” states Mats Johansson, Country Manager Gunnebo China. “With our own production unit, which has been up and running for a few weeks now, we will be able to take an even more active part on this booming market in the future.”

The order includes almost 700 metro flap-gates, specially designed for high volume and safe use in metro stations, for installation during spring 2011.

Up until today, Gunnebo has delivered entrance control solutions to eleven cities who have invested in metro systems. At the moment 40 more Chinese cities are planning to build metro systems in the near future, of which 25 are under construction.

The gates that Gunnebo are successfully 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 several other metro systems throughout China.
