Atlantic
Logistique; France
Since 2006,
Atlantic Logistique has been dedicated to providing art services
and exhibition logistics for museums and private clients. The
company’s main activity is handling exhibitions for public
museums. Atlantic Logistique also works with auction houses
like Christie’s as well as private collectors and commercial
galleries.
Originally, Atlantic Logistique, which is located in Nantes, offered
its services to museums on the West Coast of France. As
lenders to museum exhibitions are located everywhere in France,
these lenders also became
clients, and the company began working with and for museums
all over France.
This has led to the development of an international side
to the business.

Logistique has its own fine art climate-controlled and alarmed
trucks; climate-controlled and secure strong room storage; and
packers and art-handlers with many years experience in the museum
and private sector.
Atlantic Logistique is a small but extremely experienced and
competent team. It prides itself on technical know-how; its
adaptability; its flexibility; and its sensitivity and understanding
of museum requirements. This is the reason why clients appreciate
our company.

MTAB Denmark
A/S
Everything
begins with an idea! Two innovative and visionary men, a Swede
and a Dane, met at a restaurant in Copenhagen one late December
evening 2006. The men had known each other for almost 25 years,
and had, besides successful business relations over the years,
built up a close friendship. The two men were: Stefan Fors (CEO
of MTAB Sweden) and Per Hoffmann (now Country Manager of MTAB
Denmark). That was the beginning
of MTAB Denmark A/S.
From March to August 2007 thorough market research was carried
out, looking especially at the Fine Art Industry in Denmark.
The results were positive and MTAB Denmark A/S, was founded
July 1st, 2008.

MTAB Denmark
is moving into new facilities in October 2009. The facility
is situated only 10 minutes from Copenhagen down town, and only
15 minutes from Copenhagen Airport. Since MTAB in Malmö,
Sweden is only 35 minutes from Copenhagen a linehaul between
Malmö and Copenhagen operates daily.
MTAB Denmark offers full scale ”fine art logistics”
(Land, Air and Sea) including all necessary import –and
export documentation; it has it’s own fleet of fine-art-trucks.
When needed, additional manpower and trucks are being contracted
ad hoc from our Malmö location. Together with MTAB Sweden,
we offer weekly-consolidated art-truck service to most of Europe.
