Tradeport's customised centre at the Hong Kong International Airport is able to handle air cargo and containerised cargo from sea and land

Tradeport Hong Kong has clinched its biggest deal providing logistics services to the world's leading equipment manufacturer Elcoteq Network Corp at its centre in the Hong Kong International Airport.

Finland-based Elcoteq has selected Tradeport to provide vendor managed inventory services for its south China manufacturing facilities in Shenzhen and Dongguan. It manufactures communications network equipment for Nokia and Ericsson, two of its biggest clients.

Tradeport CEO David Oldridge called it a landmark deal for Tradeport and the Hong Kong logistics industry. "It proves that we can offer world class logistics solution for the leading company in electronics manufacturing services."

Tradeport provides inbound and outbound logistics for Elcoteq's south China facilities, with components from overseas suppliers moving through Tradeport for final assembly in Dongguan and Shenzhen and finished products packaged and despatched from the Logistics Centre.

Other customers which use Tradeport's services are premier global logistics provider FedEx, Belgian transport and logistics company ABX Logistics and global air and ocean freight provider DHL Danzas Air & Ocean.

"While China continues to build its hi-tech manufacturing base there is growing demand for high value added logistics services that mostly utilise airfreight. Tradeport's Logistics Centre has attracted world class customers based on our flexible services, expertise and excellent location," said Mr Oldridge.
 
Tradeport is owned by a consortium comprising of Hongkong Land, China National Aviation Corporation, Fraport AG (Frankfurt Airport Services Worldwide) and Schiphol Group.
