Kerry Logistics wins three major China contracts

HONG KONG's Kerry Logistics has landed a number of major contract deals with the most recent being Daimler Northeast Asia Parts Trading and Services Co Ltd (DPTS) selecting Kerry Logistics in the first quarter of 2010 to manage the licence attainment of its imported spare automobile parts in China.

Under the terms of the two-year contract, Kerry Logistics is responsible for obtaining all required licences for spare parts and batteries, exemption certificates for parts, as well as inspection certificates, tariff return filing, and foreign exchange verification for returned cargo and export, reports the UK's Transport Logistics.

It noted that as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Daimler Northeast Asia Ltd, DPTS is responsible for spare parts logistics for all Daimler products in mainland China, including Mercedes-Benz cars.

Earlier in the fourth quarter of 2009, Kerry Logistics landed a new contract in Hong Kong from Swedish tissue and toilet paper manufacturer Tempo. The two-year contract comprises warehousing, distribution, value-added services, such as kitting of promotional items, and cross-border haulage of its fast moving consumer goods (FMCG products).

Also in the fourth quarter, Dow Chemicals appointed Kerry Logistics as its major logistics service provider for its newly acquired company, Rohm and Haas Electronics Materials, in Hong Kong on a two-year contract basis.

Kerry Logistics is tasked with providing local warehousing and value-added services such as labelling, sample drawing and distribution to Dow Chemicals' customers in Hong Kong and mainland China, the report said.
