Jerry Nilsson, Business Unit Manager for Air & Sea at NTEX, was one of 20 speakers who were invited to speak at a conference concerning dangerous goods that was held at Chalmers University of Technology 29th of November. – One of NTEX core values is to be a “Challenger” to challenge our competition, ourselves or the market in innovation, service level and development, said Jerry Nilsson.

The conference is a venue where people who handle dangerous goods in different ways, can meet to exchange ideas and discuss issues that arise in everyday life. The organizers Dangerous Goods Management (DGM), Chalmers University of Technology and Säkerhets-
rådgivarna AB (consultancy company within dangerous goods) were responsible for one part each during the day.

Jerry Nilsson spoke during DGM’s part which dealt with cross-border transportation, but also import and export of dangerous goods.
– We discussed the trends in global trade and how the area has evolved from the early 90s to the present day. We also talked about the current problems with the transportation of dangerous goods, said Jerry Nilsson.

This was the first time that NTEX spoke at the conference, invited by DGM.
– They are our contracted security advisor and I have participated at several of their workshops, says Jerry Nilsson, who himself runs training programs for customers within the framework of NTEX Transport Academy.
– Our customer training is appreciated and allows us to share our knowledge, says Jerry.
The participation in the dangerous goods-conference is also a good opportunity to network and connect with other people that have broad knowledge in the field.
– It is instructive to listen to the other speakers and obtain a better understanding of the industry as a whole, and also to learn what we can do to make it easier for our clients, says Jerry Nilsson.

In total, more than 120 people participated at the conference and there were also speakers from Chalmers University of Technology, Swedish Transport Agency, Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency, the Police, Military and the Swedish Coast Guard.
