We are gradually emerging as the most competent and reliable art moving company in Nigeria working in close association with our overseas counterparts in handling both artifacts and contemporary works for temporary and permanents exhibitions for various Galleries and Museums across the globe. The challenges of transporting, installing and preserving works of art demand specialised skills and real commitment from everyone. Our in-house specialists produce crates for any artwork and any journey. We produce crates to your specification, recognising that there are many competing crate designs but that you should be confident in the security and safety of all packing materials. Crates are made from fumigated wood and provide complete protective cushioning from shock or vibration. Interiors are lined to prevent friction damage and sealed to provide protection against a range of climate changes.
Our facilities are designed to meet the standards expected by our museum customers. All have security systems including alarms and CCTV and operate strict regulations for access to the building. The majority of our storage facilities are certified. We maintain a complete program to protect against pests. Our facilities, available in most of our fine art offices, are designed to meet the standards expected by our Fine Art customers. All have high security systems including alarms and CCTV and operate strict regulations for access to the building. The buildings are well protected and approved by insurers. Our trucks all have air suspension, climate control, remote track-and-trace and alarm systems built-in. They all are equipped to maintain temperature and relative humidity, even during the most severe conditions, winter or summer. As part of our commitment to reduce our carbon footprint, we are increasingly selecting vehicles for their environmental performance as well as safety. For air transportation, our supervisors will oversee palletisation and loading, accompanying artworks at every stage in the transfer from truck, via customs, to aircraft loading and back. Where artworks are carried by hand, we assist your couriers throughout the transportation stage, including through customs and onto the aircraft, ensuring that artworks are safely handled at all times.
Gemirald’s dedicated shipments imply additional security and safety in fine art transportation. We give you greater control of the timing and ensure less handling of your shipment. Even at this level of service it is possible, especially within Gemirald’s network, to economise with more efficient use of capacity. For air transportation, we offer a seamless air freight service, including all handling, brokerage and also witness loading supervisors and courier escort. We also offer sea transportation for monumental works, or for large collections where there is more time available and container shipping is suitable. This is often a more economical method of transportation than air freight.
