| Spanish freight forwarder sets up Asia Pacific base ( 10/05/2004 ) | |||||||||
The managing director of Operasia Forwarding Ltd, Arturo A Segarra, said bilateral trade between Spain and Asia has outgrown that of other European countries. "It has become imperative for us to offer a tailor-made solution and knowledge to our Spanish and European-related customers. Therefore, we saw a need to choose an ideal location to set up our regional office in Asia." Mr Segarra added: "Hong Kong offers our company an excellent business, legal and banking environment for our daily activities and operations in Hong Kong and the rest of China. We also believe in its strategic location and expertise of its people necessary to set up our head office in Asia Pacific." The Hong Kong regional office is also responsible for expansion into the mainland market. It will offer sea and airfreight shipment services in Hong Kong and other markets in the region. Operasia Forwarding Ltd is a new subsidiary of Operinter, S.A., a leading International Freight Forwarder in Spain. InvestHK's associate director-general of investment promotion Simon Galpin pointed out that Hong Kong has the world's largest international air cargo handler and the busiest container port. Half the world's population live within five hours flight time of Hong Kong. These advantages, he said, offer tremendous growth opportunities for freight forwarding companies.
