New Facilities for Cargo Partner in China

With the acquisition of four additional facilities, logistics company cargo-partner has continued to grow its network in China. The business, which is in process to be acquired by forwarder Nippon Express, has enlarged its Chongqing office and opened a new office in Nanjing, a new warehouse in Guangzhou, and a new pharmaceutical facility in Shanghai. 

 For exporters and importers who want GDP-compliant shipping options for pharmaceuticals, the new Pharma Competence Centre now acts as a functional hub. In a press statement, cargo-partner stated that its local specialists could offer temperature-controlled trucking for the first and last miles in addition to temperature-controlled air and ocean freight services. 

In addition to warehouses in Shanghai, Chengdu, Kunshan, and Hong Kong, there is a new facility in Guangzhou. It will largely serve high-tech demand, but the company also intends to draw future volumes from e-commerce, industry, and consumer goods. The facility will also likely be expanded the following year. One of several cargo-partner offices in the Yangtze River Delta, the new customer service and sales office in Nanjing will provide airfreight, seafreight, land transport, contract logistics, and value-added services. 

 "Nanjing is a major logistics gateway in eastern China, situated at the confluence of several key logistics hubs, including Nanjing Lukou International Airport, Nanjing Port, as well as important railway hubs connected to the main railway networks," the company made clear. Regarding the relocation to larger facilities in Chongqing, the company noted that the city is an important logistics and transportation hub in central China, with airports that rank among the top 10 in throughput throughout the country. Additionally, the city has a sizable port, and the Chongqing-Duisburg railway connection is a key component of the expanding trans-Eurasian rail system. "China presents enormous opportunities for the cargo-partner group as a dynamic and rapidly changing market," stated Luca Ferrara, chief executive of cargo-partner. "

"We continue to expand our network in China with the opening of our new Pharma Centre in Shanghai, our new warehouse in Guangzhou, and our new office facilities in Chongqing and Nanjing. Our long-term objectives of increasing operational effectiveness, creating closer ties with our local partners and clients, and opening up fresh chances for growth are ideally aligned with our strategic choice to establish a strong presence throughout China."
