ModusLink Global Solutions™ Inc. (NASDAQ:MLNK), a global,

that it has partnered with COBI, developer of the first smart
control center for both bikes and eBikes, to provide logistics and
e-commerce services that will help the smart bike innovator
successfully sell its products across the globe. ModusLink’s
trusted e-commerce, warehousing, distribution and customer service
solutions will be used by COBI as it expands its global footprint
to sell its products in more than thirty countries.
“ModusLink’s efforts and solutions have helped us in our efforts
to ensure that our global customers will be able to quickly and
easily find, order and receive our products,” said Sonja Glauert,
Head of Customer Relations at COBI. “Their expertise has allowed us
to focus on the product itself, rather than worry about shipping
and distribution.”

efforts for Europe and the U.S., including accessories fulfillment
and packaging assembly for disparate geographies. In addition,
ModusLink is handling all e-commerce-related back-end operations

for COBI in a variety of languages.
“We’re thrilled to be working with COBI to bring its integrated
smart bike system to consumers across the globe,” added Hans

assistance, COBI can quickly and easily scale its sales efforts as
demand for its products grow.”
