BAX Global, a world-leading provider of supply chain management and transportation solutions, has opened a new office in China to meet growing demand in the country.
The new BAX office in Nanjing will expand the company’s countrywide network, which now consists of four Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprises (WFOE), six branch offices, nine representative offices and one joint venture.
BAX Global has been well established in China since the early 1990s and was one of the first international forwarders to open a representative office in Beijing. BAX established it’s first WFOE in China under the Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA) in Guangzhou in April 2004 and Shanghai in December of that year. BAX had previously established WFOEs in Xiamen, Shenzhen and Shanghai Wai Gao Qiao in accordance with China's Free Trade Zone arrangements.
Since then, BAX has aggressively pursued expansion of its license scope, to include activities such as brokerage and road transport.
The new office will offer the complete BAXSuite integrated logistics services, including international and domestic air freight, ocean freight, exhibition support services, ground transportation consulting services and supply chain management solutions.
“The establishment of this new branch office reaffirms BAX Global’s long term commitment to the People’s Republic of China, and its endeavour to continue to invest in supporting future developments in the logistics landscape of this emerging market,” said Andrew Jillings, BAX Global’s vice president, North East Asia.
