TNT Express opens fashion hub in Hong Kong
TNT Express is looking to expand its presence in the AsPac apparel market by opening a new dedicated hub in Hong Kong. The 99,087 square foot facility is located at the ATL Logistics centre in Hong Kong’s Kwai Chung Container Terminal.
The hub will offer complete, customised supply chain management solutions to the AsPac fashion sector, and will reach out to countries including Japan, Korea, China and Singapore.
Edward Lau, managing director, TNT Express Hong Kong, said: “Hong Kong is a highly efficient logistics centre and a global hub for trade in garments and luxury goods.
“The city is not only a gateway to the fast-growing mainland China market, but is well connected to the entire region. That is why we are opening our new Asia-Pacific Fashion Hub here, and in turn the facility reinforces Hong Kong’s status as one of the world’s leading fashion hubs.
“The fashion industry is all about responding quickly to fast-changing, intensely competitive global and local marketplaces. Our clients must anticipate demand and constantly keep ahead of the curve.
“For companies already operating in Asia, and for those expanding into the region, TNT offers ‘just-in-time’ and ‘just-enough’ solutions that reduce supply chain costs and optimise inventory management.”
TNT said the new centre is fully linked to the company’s multimodal integrated air and road networks, which will ensure a high degree of connectivity among major markets in AsPac and Europe.
