World Courier opens third office in China
World Courier has opened its third wholly foreign-owned office in Guangzhou, China. The courier said it anticipates a dynamic new phase of economic growth in southern China, with the city being a key industrial hub distinguished by unprecedented growth over the past three decades.
“Successful companies realise that China is not one market, but a series of regional markets,” said Allen Yan, general manager for World Courier (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. “While a closer Guangzhou-Hong Kong service circle is being shaped to boost global competitiveness in this part of China, many challenges remain.
“Growth in pharmaceutical/R&D investment, the automotive industry and high-tech manufacturing in this region has led to heightened demand for temperature-controlled and time-critical transport and logistics services,” added Yan. “With the opening of the Guangzhou office, World Courier reinforces its long-term commitment to China while providing the expertise and logistical infrastructure needed to help drive these industries forward.”
The powerhouse of China’s economic reform, Guangzhou has maintained an average annual rate of growth of almost 13.5% over the past three decades, well above the national average.
World Courier has operated in China since 2000. It maintains its other wholly foreign-owned offices in Beijing and Shanghai.
