Pteris Global Limited

Pteris Global Limited makes airport facility equipment. It is based in Singapore. The company says it is one of the world's largest suppliers of passenger boarding bridges. It also supplies baggage handling systems, air cargo systems, material handling systems, courier systems and ground support equipment.

The company says its baggage handling systems can find and fix capacity limits. They also take security into account and aim for low running and maintenance cost. Its air cargo handling work began with a project for CSA in 1991. Since then it has done large cargo projects for airports and airlines in China. It says the system runs in four of the busiest airports in China: Shanghai, Guangzhou, Beijing and Shenzhen.

Pteris Global also builds automated material handling systems for in-flight catering. They move items between work areas in a catering facility. Its express courier systems aim to make parcel handling more efficient. Beyond airports, the company makes material handling systems and automated parking systems for other commercial sectors.

The company offers software too. Its Airport Logistic Suite includes a Flight Allocation Management System and tools for simulation and emulation. It also lists a manual encoding application and a visualization application. After installation, it offers service to monitor and control activities, keep operations running and advise on how to improve a baggage system.

The site says the group sells in more than 70 countries on six continents. Example airports include Charlotte Douglas International Airport, Tan Son Nhat International Airport and Shanghai Pudong International Airport.

In August 2014, Shenzhen CIMC-TianDa Airport Support Co. Ltd. completed a reverse takeover of Pteris Global. The operations were merged. The group is now a subsidiary of China International Marine Containers (Group) Ltd., known as CIMC Group. CIMC Group is listed on the Hong Kong and Shenzhen stock exchanges.

Pteris Global lists offices in Singapore, Dubai, Charlotte, Chennai, Penang and Bangkok. The website has pages on its solutions, its projects and its company background, plus a sales contact.
