Jan 06, 2021 (newstodate): Scan Global Logistics has secured a key professional with proficiency in the Danish mink fur logistics: Line Spang.
Ms Spang has taken up the position as Global Operational Account Fur Logistics with Scan Global Logistics, a leading provider in this field of business.
For almost nine years, Ms Spang has served as Shipping Manager with Kopenhagen Fur that is, however, winding down activities as the Danish mink fur industry has been effectively annihilated by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the culling of the entire live stock.
As one immediate result, Kopenhagen Fur, owned by the Danish mink farmers, is to close down all activities, with last operations in 2022.
Kopenhagen Fur still expects to deliver some 28-30 million mink furs on storage in 2021-2022 before folding its wings, translating into some 250 tonnes of high-value air cargo in 2021 and 2022.
Earlier, the volume of mink fur lifted by air was around 5,000 tonnes annually.
