LYNDEN Air Freight, a Lynden International and Kerry Logistics joint venture, plans to provide logistics and freight forwarding services to Europe and India, adding 30 new locations and quadrupling the number of offices of the Seattle-based JV.
"This expansion is part of our ongoing strategy to respond to customers needs," said Lynden International president Dennis Patrick. "By providing service in more locations worldwide, our customers can also expand their own operations and services in new geographic areas."
Said Kerry's Joint managing director Vincent Wong: "Our customers prefer to trade with a single global entity instead of multiple agent partners, so we have expanded into new major world markets like India to further streamline their experience with us."
Kerry-Lynden is a large third-party logistics (3PL) firm offering supply chain management, including contracted logistics, freight forwarding, warehousing, transportation and distribution. Its resources include warehousing, distribution centres, a seaport, container yards, container freight stations and air cargo and rail terminals in 15 countries.
