Tigers opens new Myanmar office
Tigers has opened a new office in Yangon, Myanmar, as part of its plans for further growth across South East Asia. The new branch, Tigers Indo China Logistics Co. Ltd., is headed by RS Baskkaran, and offers the group’s full suite of logistics services, including international freight forwarding, Customs brokerage, and supply chain solutions.
The Yangon office will offer e-commerce capabilities later in the year, thanks to Tigers’ new online marketplace, eShop.
“With consistent developments and an annual GDP growth of 7.5%, Myanmar is the country to watch in the South East Asia region,” said RS Baskkaran, Managing Director, Tigers Malaysia and South East Asia.
“We are planning to further boost our presence in Myanmar by opening two more domestic offices by the end of the year.
“We want to be a part of Myanmar’s future in the logistics industry by combining Tigers’ international with our local expertise.”
Andrew Jillings, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Group Managing Director of Tigers, added: “Myanmar has tremendous growth potential and fits in with our strategy of focusing on emerging markets.
“Lying between Malaysia and China, both countries where we already have offices, it further solidifies our presence in the region.”
As reported by Post&Parcel, the Hong Kong-headquartered Tigers recently signed a cooperation agreement with Malaysia’s national postal provider Pos Malaysia to manage its e-commerce facility in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
