SCHENKER Vietnam Co Ltd’s new flagship facility in Song Than Industrial Park I in Binh Duong Province aims to tap into Vietnam’s growing economy.
Costing US$5.5mil, the facility is a joint investment with Vietnamese partner, Gemadept Corp.
The new facility will function as a key logistics hub for manufacturers, original equipment manufacturers, contract manufacturers and distributors alike, especially for the enterprises in high-tech and industrial zones in Binh Duong Province and Ho Chi Minh City.
“The opening of this facility is testimony to the strong support from our customers, employees and partners, for our steady development and growth in the Vietnamese market,” said Schenker Vietnam managing director Juergen Braunbach said.
“At the same time, it also demonstrates the long-standing commitment which DB Schenker has to this dynamic market.”
Schenker (Asia Pacific) Pte Ltd chief executive officer Steve Dearnley said the facility would not only serve as an important hub for the Vietnamese market, but also an integral hub in the regional and global freight network, as the group continued to strengthen its logistics footprint to better serve customers’ needs in Vietnam, Asia Pacific and the rest of the world.
DB Schenker first entered the Vietnam market in 1990, and has since grown across six locations throughout Vietnam, offering a full range of air and ocean freight, contract logistics and supply chain management, as well as project logistics and relocation services.
With annual sales of 18 billion euros, over 90,000 employees and over 2,000 company locations in all the important economic regions of the globe, DB Schenker is one of the leading providers of logistics services worldwide.
