Cargo Services Far East has started with the philosophy of managing each process of cargo handling required by our customers. That is why we had already leased space from the ATL Logistics Centre in Hong Kong, the biggest concrete building in the world, on Day 1 of the commencement of business. That is why we had already had our own fleet of container tractors from Day 1 of the commencement of our business.

We are not happy at all in acting as a broker in the industry with cargo consolidation, container haulage, and other services, sub-contracting to local operators.

With the control of our own warehouses in Hong Kong, China and Singapore, we can guarantee the best quality services to all our customers, especially in the execution of the more sophisticated and complicated Origin Logistics programs.

The total suite of Origin Logistics Services offered by Cargo Services Far East, with its strict KPI of lead times at both ends, has proven to be the catalyst in significantly increasing the proportion of direct sourcing, which generally yield a much higher gross margin for each PO, of our retailer Principals.

We have some of our Principals prohibiting their buyers from sourcing from importers on Lead Time between Cargo Readiness at Source and Cargo Delivery to their DCs at destinations, as the Lead Time we deliver is far shorter than what the importers can manage.

We have some of the local brands changing their terms of trading with our retailer Principals from Delivered DC to FOB with goods channeling to the supply chain solution of our Principals in China and other parts of the world. Such a program is better known as Supply Chain Substitution. It delivers a greater margin and Speed to DC for our Principals.
