The 50th container filled with Gas Generant (GG) was dispatched to our sister company in Himeji, Japan, on 25 January 2016.
The first container was dispatched from INDET SAFETY SYSTEMS a.s. (former Nippon Kayaku CZ, s.r.o.*) on 26 October 2007. Despite the fact that shipments of this kind are rather complicated in administration and logistics, there have been only a few minor issues that were dealt with quickly. There has only been one serious situation, which occurred in 2011. Due to an earthquake in Japan, a container had to be sent back. The ship carrying the cargo was turned around on the captain’s orders and the merchandise was returned to ISS.
In order to avoid further delays in production in Himeji, a replacement shipment by was successfully dispatched by air.
