Once Shanghai was known as the ‘Paris of the East’; today it is better known as an international business centre and gateway to China. As well as a manufacturing base, Shanghai welcomes foreign investors to achieve its ambition to become a world economic, financial, trading and shipping centre by 2020.
UFL is backing Shanghai’s ambitions with two headline investments of our own. One has seen the creation of a ‘super office’ to consolidate management and office operations in one downtown location to offer a ‘super service’ to clients. The second sees the development of a new logistics hub at Shanghai Pudong International airport (PVG), which we are certain is set to become an iconic facility at the gateway.
In the city centre, a ‘super office’ was created containing three key companies from within the U-Freight group in the city. Shanghai offices of UFL subsidiaries U-Ocean, Dalian China Express and Rijin Shanghai have been brought together under one roof to facilitate easier contact with clients and suppliers alike.
At the airport, we are making a strategic investment of RMB200 million/USD29.26 million to further improve our import and export activity in an outstanding building of which everyone working for UFL will be proud when construction is completed next year.
The new facility will offer you the customer multi-function logistics solutions for transit, storage, palletisation, logistics and temperature-controlled storage and distribution
