DuPont Protection Technologies has appointed Budapest-based R-BAG Group as the official distributor for Tyvek Air Cargo Covers in Central East Europe.

R-BAG, a general sales and service agent (GSSA), is responsible for the supply of the Tyvek brand protective covers across this region together with the provision of customer support and service.

Tyvek covers are used to provide thermal protection for temperature-sensitive products during the ground handling and air transportation phases of distribution.

R-BAG is already working on cargo cover trials with a number of local customers that are flying temperature-sensitive products such as chocolate and perishables in and out of the region.

R-BAG will continue to work closely with Andras Kovacs, sales and marketing manager at DuPont, who looks after market development in this part of Europe.

R-BAG was appointed on the strength of its presence in Central Europe where it is active in all the main markets including Hungary, Poland, Romania and the Czech Republic.

Said Kovacs: "This appointment extends our sales capacity to embrace all the growth regions in Central East Europe and we are confident that the young, enthusiastic and dynamic team at R-BAG will maximise our opportunities.”
