OTS Logistics Group Ramps up Global Presence
The OTS Logistics group's plan to expand unfolds
(PRWEB) April 1, 2005 -- In a move that took the ocean freight market by surprise, OTS Logistics Group Limited announced in Hong Kong on the 19th of March that it would commence managing the international agency network of market leading NVOCC, NACA Logistics (USA) Inc. The arrangement is effective immediately and will substantially enhance the global presence of OTS Logistics Group on a worldwide basis by extending its existing access to point to point service in over 300 trade lanes.
“The geographical scope of our coverage is now unprecedented”, Mr. Owen Glenn, Chairman of the group, said in announcing the new arrangements. “This arrangement gives us trade volumes of over 200,000 TEU of ocean freight on a global basis, pre-carriage and on-forwarding from virtually any point to any point in the world, 177 offices and agencies worldwide and representation in over 105 countries.”
Asked if this was the first step in a rumored public listing, Mr. Glenn replied, “We generally ignore rumors that relate to our business plans. It is no secret that we have a 27 year history of success - obviously this attracts investor interest. We have had some strong interest from parties that see this as an eventual listing opportunity but my answer is the same - we always examine options. Right now we are heavily focused on developments in China.”
The company has implemented strategy to establish a stronger presence in China with the acquisition of a Class A license in Zhuhai, China through another member of the group, Vanguard Logistics (HK). A “Global Resource Center” is also being set up in Zhuhai to handle the growth the group is experiencing and the group has relocated senior management to the region.
“If one connects the dots, looks at our commitment, looks at our now expanded network and our technology investments they can see what we have to offer”, Mr. Glenn said. “We are stitching together a powerhouse in global logistics, piece by piece. We have a billion dollar turnover in our sights.”
