Logistics Network Limited ('Kerry Logistics Network' or 'KLN'; Stock Code
0636.HK) is honoured to be named the Best 3PL Provider for the sixth time and
Best Logistics Service Provider - Sea for the second time at the 2021 Asian Freight, Logistics and
Supply Chain Awards ('AFLAS'), which recognised supply chain best practice in
the region and commitment to meeting customers' ever-changing needs.
William
Ma, Group Managing Director of KLN, said, "We are truly grateful for the
recognition from the industry and customers. Third party logistics is an essential
element of our integrated suite of service offerings. Over the course of the
year, KLN has been providing alternative solutions to various sectors to meet everyday
challenges amid the pandemic as well as ensuring the supply chains for daily
necessities and highly-in-demand stay-at-home goods remained intact in different
local markets. Thanks to the tireless efforts and dedication of our colleagues
and business partners across the globe, we will continue to provide highly
customised solutions to facilitate our customers to navigate a highly volatile
global supply situation going forward."
In August, KLN rolled out a new Trans-Pacific air
freight service named Kerry Freight Controlled Network to connect multiple
Asian locations to the USA to capture the heightened demands in the
pandemic-hit air freight market. The inaugural flight originated from Hong Kong
in September.
Earlier
this year, KLN has introduced robotic arms "KOOLBotic" in its F&B operation
to boost sorting efficiency and raise accuracy for one of UK's leading
retailers in Hong Kong. KOOLBotic is able to work 20-hour shifts and raises sorting productivity
by 20%.
Currently in its 35th year,
AFLAS aims to honour leading service providers in the freight, port and
logistics sectors for demonstrating leadership and consistency in service
quality, innovation, customer-relationship management and reliability. The
winners are voted by over 15,000 shippers and customers, making each individual
award a true reflection of industry distinction.
