*Double Win as Kerry Logistics Takes Home Two Top Awards at Payload Asia
Awards 2017*
Hong Kong, 13 October 2017
Kerry Logistics Network Limited ('Kerry Logistics'; Stock Code 636.HK)
continued to reinforce its leading position in the air cargo industry by
taking home the Global Logistics Provider of the Year award for the fourth
consecutive year and the Regional Express Provider of the Year award for the
first time at the Payload Asia Awards 2017 ('the Awards') held in Singapore
last night.
Organised annually by Payload Asia Magazine, the Awards celebrate excellence
in the global air cargo market. Kerry Logistics was nominated by
multinational corporations and evaluated based on its unique market
leadership, outstanding operational performance and passion to drive
innovation. All winners were selected through a dual-track programme which
comprised voting by the public and an international panel of expert judges,
reflecting the recognition from customers and peers in equal measure.
On winning the awards, Gary So, Deputy Managing Director of Kerry Logistics,
said, "We are thrilled to win two top awards in one night, in particular the
Regional Express Provider of the Year for the very first time. The accolades
not only recognise our commitment in offering best-in-class supply chain
solutions to our customers, but also commend our devotion to building a
regional express network as well as providing innovative and
cost-competitive last-mile delivery services in Asia. They are also
testaments to our global teams' hard work and dedication. We will carry on
doing our best to repay the enduring trust our customers and partners have
in us."
Kerry Logistics' express business continues to capture growth opportunities
arising from increased e-commerce volume and cross-border logistics
activities through its express platform across Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia
and Cambodia. In 2017 Q2, the company formed a joint venture with a local
express operator in Indonesia to tap into the booming local express market.
Singapore will be the next target for expansion. With the strongest network
in Asia, Kerry Logistics strives to provide alternative options and greater
flexibility to its international customers, and anticipates further
reinforcement of services and coverage across its global network befitting
its position as a market leader.
