MPO launches APAC Logistics Centre
The opening of the APAC Logistics Centre showroom on 9 November 2010 marked the launch of MPO’s state of the art warehousing and logistics facility in Zhuhai. The event received substantial media interest attention and was well attended by major state government officials and industry leaders, including officials from the Zhuhai Investment Promotion Bureau, the Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau Chambers of Logistics Industry and the British Business Association of Macao.
“With the increasing economic interaction between Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macau, and the growing demand for modern warehouse facilities in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region, Zhuhai is gaining prominence as an international logistics hub. APAC Logistics Centre will significantly contribute to Zhuhai’s development into Asia’s world city.” said Harry Chan, Director of Zhuhai Free Trade Zone Administration Committee in his inauguration speech.
Wang Gang, Vice President of Guangdong Supply Chain Management Association and officiating guest, concurred with the unparalleled pace of economic growth in Zhuhai: “Since the beginning of 2010, we have seen a rebound in imports and exports, together with a rapid growth in the trading and logistics sectors in Zhuhai. Zhuhai’s logistics sector is poised to further benefit from the completion of various infrastructure construction projects and government investments in western PRD. MPO has captured an unprecedented growth opportunity in the region.”
“APAC Logistics Centre, strategically located adjacent to the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge and future core intercity transport network, will enable the effective use of the rich land resources in western PRD as rents in Hong Kong and eastern PRD continue to surge. International logistics companies in Hong Kong will operate more economically and the logistics industry in western PRD will benefit from APAC Logistics Centre in long term.” said Vincent Cheung, Vice President of Hong Kong Institute of Demand & Supply Chain Management.
The ceremony ended on high note with officiating guests proclaiming the inauguration of APAC Logistics Centre and its showroom.
