DACHSER Transport of America Inc says a new branch office has been opened in Nanjing, the capital of the Jiangsu province in the Yangtze River Delta region.
"The cities along the Yangtze River are experiencing enormous growth in the manufacturing and processing industries, which is also leading to a steep rise in demand for logistics services," says Thomas Reuter, managing director of Dachser air sea logistics.
The new office will provide both air freight and ocean freight forwarding services in the Nanjing region, including the cities of Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, Wuhu, Nantong, Zhangjiagang, Wuhan and Yichang. The company also offers shippers a wide range of supplementary services such as customs clearance, warehousing and distribution.
Nanjing marks the group's 18th office in China and Taiwan. This location is the central transport hub of the Yangtze River Delta and boasts the largest inland port in the People's Republic. Nanjing's airport, Lukou International, ranks 10th in China for freight volume.
