The logistics service provider cargo-partner recently opened a new Air Cargo and Sea Cargo office in Beijing, China's capital. As a result, the total number of company owned subsidiaries in China increases to twelve.

Opening a cargo-partner location in Beijing was a logical step in connection to the company's endeavor of creating a nationwide network in the country. Thanks to the nearby airport, where more than 5000 flights are serviced and about one million tons of air cargo pass through each year and the Tianjin seaport with its more than 5 million square meter premises, which are only 160 km away from Beijing, cargo-partner once again reinforced its position in China and strengthens its competence in air and sea shipping from and to the country.

cargo-partner CEO Stefan Krauter: 'By now we have more than 500 employees in Asia. Over the last years we strongly focused on the Asian market. Thanks to the enlargement of our office network in this market we can feel substantial growth in the area and develop this field of business in addition to our core competence in Europe.'
