Sino-Global Signs Strategic Agreement with Leading China State-Owned Importer

ROSLYN, N.Y., Nov. 29, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd. (NASDAQ: SINO) ("Sino-Global", the "Company" or "we"), a non-asset based global shipping and freight logistics integrated solution provider, today announces the signing of a Strategic Collaboration Agreement with Sichuan Metals and Minerals IMP. & EXP. CORP. ("SCMMC"), a subsidiary of Sichuan Foreign Trade Group Co Ltd., a leading state-owned importer/exporter in the Sichuan province in China. 

Pursuant to the Strategic Collaboration Agreement, Sino-Global will serve as the exclusive purchasing agent and logistics service provider of sulfur products in the United States for SCMMC. The collaboration is in alignment with the Company's ongoing effort towards the containerization of imported commodities, shipped from the United States to China.  This agreement will also mark the beginning of SCMMC's switch to containerization from the traditional bulk shipment of its products by exclusively using Sino-Global's innovative and cost-effective door to door container solution for the transport of its sulfur products. SCMMC has begun placing orders with Sino-Global for the purchase of approximately 2,400 metric ton or 120 containers of sulfur. Sino-Global expects to generate approximately $360,000 of revenue from these initial orders, with the Company expecting additional sales contracts to be finalized in the coming months.

Mr. Lei Cao, Chief Executive Officer of Sino-Global, stated, "We are excited to enter into this agreement with SCMMC. With this agreement, we are able to leverage our long-term relationship with China COSCO, China's largest integrated shipping company, to secure these containers at a discounted price while offering SCMMC a cost-effective solution for the materials they traditionally ship via break bulk. We are confident that containerization offers key advantages over bulk shipments, and given the ongoing increase in Chinese demand we intend to capitalize on the opportunity that containerization provides. By partnering with one of the leading state-owned import companies in China, we increase the Company's exposure as global logistics service provider which we believe will lead to additional contracts and increase sales over the long term. We intend to continue to seek additional customers and strategic partnerships that will further supplement our end to end global logistics services in the future and drive value for our shareholders."
