EFM Global Enables Seamless Logistics at Wimbledon and The Open

EFM Global delivered complex, time-critical logistics for Wimbledon and The Open, managing international freight, customs, and on-site coordination. Their expertise ensured seamless operations for sponsors, broadcasters, and athletes at two of the world's most prestigious sporting events.

EFM Global (EFM), a leading international logistics consultant specialising in complex projects, is playing a pivotal role behind the scenes of two of the world's most iconic sporting events: Wimbledon and The Open.


EFM provides specialist end-to-end logistics support, managing international freight, customs clearance, on-site coordination and time-critical deliveries tailored to the unique demands of each tournament. At Wimbledon, EFM executed a high-priority delivery of time-sensitive broadcast and production gear, managing transport windows and restricted-access drop-offs with zero margin for error, ensuring seamless global coverage of every match. For The Open, the team managed the complex transport of branding and activation materials, deploying ten 40-foot trucks to accommodate expanded sponsor and venue requirements.

"These events demand a high level of precision and reliability that few logistics providers can offer," said Gary Morter, CEO of EFM Global. "Whether it's transporting a sponsor's experiential setup from overseas or managing end-to-end transportation of materials, our team thrives on making the impossible look easy."

EFM's expanding sports logistics portfolio includes global tours, the Olympics and complex international freight projects. In addition to recent success at Wimbledon and The Open, EFM is currently supporting the Rugby Football Union's Summer Tour to Argentina, managing both outbound and return logistics. The team is also coordinating logistics for every international cricket event in the UK this summer, with more updates to follow.

From global sports to world-class entertainment, EFM's legacy includes the 2024 Olympics, the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup and the intricate transport of a NASA space telescope. With clients such as Iron Maiden and Rammstein, EFM continues to prove its ability to deliver, regardless of the challenge, timeline or terrain.

"Delivering world-class sport takes more than smart logistics; it demands timing, teamwork and total focus under pressure," added Stuart Baker, Global VP for Sport at EFM Global. "Whether it's setting the stage for a championship point or bringing a major tournament to life, we're proud to play our part behind the scenes."

As fans around the world tune in to witness unforgettable performances on the court and the course, EFM remains behind the scenes, helping organisers, sponsors and athletes focus on what matters most: delivering world-class sport at its best.

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
