Dimerco implements dual-brand strategy in Singapore with dedicated new ocean freight service operation
Taiwan based freight forwarding company Dimerco has implemented its dual-brand strategy in Singapore with a dedicated new ocean freight service operation, Diversified Freight System (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. further strengthening the company’s position as a global logistics specialist in the ASEAN region. The dedicated ocean freight service operation, which was formally opened on January 18th 2019, will provide enhanced ocean freight services in Singapore to Dimerco’s extensive customer base.
According to CEO Mr. Edward Lin, Dimerco’s expansion in South East Asia has been driven by the booming market, particularly in the light of the current US-China Trade war. The continued uncertainty is leading manufacturers in China to consider moving to alternative locations such as Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore, which offers one of the best regional hubs in South East Asia. In establishing its dedicated services here, Dimerco is looking to capitalize on this situation and offer wider ocean freight and logistics capabilities to customers.
Dimerco has also unveiled a new 14,000 sq ft Bonded Warehouse, offering competitive cost storage, with 1,200 temperature-controlled pallet space and 4 loading bays. Strategically located at the Airport Logistics Park of Singapore, which is part of the Free Trade Zone with easy access to the airport, sea port and cross-border trucking, the new warehouse facilitates trans-shipments on the same or on multi-modal transportation as well as LCL freight consolidation.
Commenting on the new developments in Singapore, Dimerco CEO Mr. Edward Lin said,“It is almost 40 years since we commenced operations in Singapore and our business in the region has continued to grow strongly. We are pleased to announce the opening of Diversified Freight System (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. and bring online a new bonded warehouse facility that enables our customers to take advantage of Duty and Tax exemption opportunities with us, as well as 24-hour customs clearance.
Dimerco now has 38 owned offices across South East Asia, with the newly enhanced service located close to the border for road freight from and to Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and way up into China. We foresee a rising trade flow between ASEAN countries and China, and already provide cross-border road freight services covering major hubs across the region, in addition to air and ocean freight services, which we are now looking to expand.”
