Geodis enhances China forwarding services
Geodis has strengthened its services to Hong Kong and China, following the recent acquisition of TNT Freight Management (TFM) which doubled Geodis’ exporting capacity in Asia. The company intends to incorporate Geodis Overseas, its existing air and sea freight activities, under the Geodis Wilson umbrella before the end of this year.
“Geodis has traditionally had a strong presence in Hong Kong and China,” said Jamie Cuthbert, managing director of Geodis UK, “and the scope of our organisation has grown significantly since the acquisition of TFM. We now have 210,000 square feet of warehousing space and 620 employees across our nine offices throughout the region. With the pooled volumes this has brought, we have further enhanced our offering to the market-place. The deal has allowed us to implement an even more competitive pricing structure, increase the frequency of our services and provide a greater coverage of the region.
Geodis Wilson’s air freight service out of the region operates direct consolidated air shipments on a daily basis. For sea freight, the company functions as a Non Vessel Owning Common Carrier (NVOCC).
