Shanghai museum confirms major order with Gunnebo
Gothenburg, Sweden and Shanghai, China
The Gunnebo Security Group
has received an order worth over
2 million to deliver 16,888 safe
deposit lockers and 15 vault doors
to Guanfu Museum in Shanghai,
China.
Guanfu was the first private
museum to be established in Chi-
na and contains over 1,000 pieces
of art, mainly from the late Ming
and Qing dynasties. It is located
in the Shanghai Tower, currently
the tallest building in China and a
new landmark in the city.
"This order is a milestone for
Gunnebo on the Chinese physical
security market," says Per Borgvall,
Gunnebo's President and CEO.
"Gunnebo has been recognised by
a high-end customer and is enter-
ing into a completely new market
segment."
The Guanfu Museum intends
to rent out the safe deposit lockers
to their members for the storage of
valuable artwork.
"This is the first time we are
delivering safe deposit lockers
produced in China under the
Chubbsafes brand," explains
Per Borgvall. "Part of the reason
why Guanfu Museum placed the
order was Chubbsafes' reputation
for quality security products.
Such a renowned brand makes it
easier to buy international insur-
ance and this will be a selling
point when they rent the lockers
out."
Delivery and installation
will be carried out during the
second quarter of 2014 in col-
laboration with systems integra-
tor, Airlink.
