New Locations Give Joint Venture Company Worldwide Coverage

SEATTLE, Jan. 4 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Lynden Air Freight dba Lynden International and Kerry Logistics have entered into a joint venture agreement to provide logistics and forwarding services. The Seattle-based joint venture company, "Kerry-Lynden," will be responsible for marketing the JV worldwide.

In addition, Lynden International and Kerry Logistics expanded their Asia and North American sales and operations network Jan. 1 by adding more than 30 new locations. The new service network, which includes Europe and India, quadruples the number of Lynden-Kerry offices and offers customers global coverage.

In 2006, Lynden International entered into an exclusive contractual agreement with leading logistics provider Kerry Freight International Limited, dba Kerry Logistics, to combine sales and operating resources in North America and Asia.

"This expansion is part of our ongoing strategy to respond to customers needs," says Lynden International President Dennis Patrick. "By providing service in more locations worldwide, our customers can also expand their own operations and services with the assurance that we offer the same high-quality support in new geographic areas."

"Our customers prefer to trade with a single global entity instead of multiple agent partners, so we have expanded into new major world markets like India to further streamline their experience with us," says Kerry Joint Managing Director Vincent Wong.

The Lynden-Kerry network now includes the following locations: Greater China (The People's Republic of China, Taiwan, Hong Kong SAR), South Korea, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, India, United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia and Ukraine, as well as the U.S., Canada, Mexico and U.S. Territories such as Puerto Rico and Guam.

Services include supply chain management, including contracted logistics, freight forwarding, warehousing, transportation and distribution, a wide range of information technology systems and other value-added services and customized solutions.
