Reuters: Global News Agency Equipment Transport Cases
Challenge
Reuters operates 200+ news bureaus globally covering breaking news, conflicts, elections, sports, and finance. They need cases for cameras, satellite terminals, body armor, and laptops at every bureau. Cases must: (1) survive air travel + conflict zones, (2) be airline-checkable for rapid deployment, (3) be field-repairable with replacement foam, (4) integrate with Reuters' asset management, (5) be reusable 500+ cycles.
Solution
KeXinMaterials provided journalist-grade cases with: (1) IP67 PP copolymer + steel hardware, (2) TSA-approved compact size for airline check-in, (3) field-replaceable foam (Velcro-mounted), (4) serialized QR + Reuters asset management, (5) 500+ cycle rating. Custom foam for Sony A7R V / Canon R5 / DJI drones / BGAN satellite terminals / body armor plates / ruggedized laptops.
Result
1,500 cases deployed across 200+ Reuters bureaus. 18 months zero equipment damage. Cases used in 40+ conflict zones and elections. Reuters standardized KeXinMaterials for all bureau field equipment. Annual purchase + replacement program.
