*Kerry Logistics Crowned Global Freight Solutions Provider of the Year*
*at Global Freight Awards in London*
London, UK, 20 November 2017
Kerry Logistics Network Limited ('Kerry Logistics' or the 'Company'; Stock
Code 636.HK) made its debut appearance at the 21st Lloyd's Loading List
Global Freight Awards (the 'Awards') in London, taking home the Global
Freight Solutions Provider of the Year award. Held at the Lancaster London
Hotel on 16 November 2017, the award ceremony was attended by more than 500
guests from the global freight and logistics industry.
Organised annually by the Lloyd's Loading List, a freight publication of
more than 160 years, the Awards recognise companies with innovative ideas
and achievements and have set a benchmark for excellence in the global
freight industry.
Kerry Logistics was honoured for its innovative multimodal solutions and
successful development of an integral Eurasian overland transportation
network between Europe and China with new LCL rail options, providing
greater flexibility to its international customers.
Thomas Blank, Managing Director of Europe, Kerry Logistics, said, "We are
excited to win the Global Freight Solutions Provider of the Year award. With
the ambition to become a major logistics service provider for the new Silk
Road, we are strategically expanding our network by sea, air, road and rail,
devising new innovative solutions to offer our clients a competitive
advantage. We are committed to offering a full range of upstream and
downstream services to meet the demands of today's shippers, from industrial
freight, down to smaller e-commerce commodities."
In June 2017, Kerry Logistics enhanced its services and network under the
Belt and Road initiative by adding a new subsidiary, Globalink Logistics,
under its umbrella. This move expanded its presence in nine countries across
Central Asia which include Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan,
Turkmenistan, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Ukraine. While Kerry
Logistics continues to develop an overland transportation network for road,
rail and multimodal freight services from China to Central Asia and Europe,
it will also build upon its expertise in project logistics within its global
network to explore new business opportunities.
