Beijing Kintetsu World Express Co., Ltd.("BKWE"),
a company registered in China that is part of the group of Kintetsu World Express,
Inc. ("KWE": TSE 9375) has newly established an air import operations
warehouse in the Tianjin Airport International Logistics Zone that commenced business
on April 1, 2006. This brings the total number of business sites within the Tianjin
area of China to 5.
Tiajin, an area designated by the Chinese government as a hub for the development of the Balhae Bay coastal region, is an area of intensive development which, centering on Japanese and South Korean manufacturers of electrical appliances and automobiles, is attracting a large number of manufacturing companies. Further the ongoing development of facilities around the Tianjin Airport and improvements in transportation infrastructure have resulted in a continued increase in the amount of airfreight.
Since the establishment in 2000 of the Tianjin Branch, BKWE has been actively expanding sales activities within this area having already established two sales offices, one airport operation office and one warehouse focusing on domestic logistics within China. Tianjin is now the fourth largest area in terms of the volume of freight handled after Shanghai, Hong Kong and Dalian.
This air import operations warehouse being KWE's fifth business site in Tianjin is favorably located. In off-peak hours it takes 5 minutes by car to the airport freight terminal, 30 minutes to Tianjin city, 60 minutes to the Tianjin economic and technological development zone and Tianjin Port bonded area and less than 2 hours to the city of Beijing. The establishment of this warehouse has made it possible for KWE to perform its own air import operations in this area and as such it is expected that it will operate to further improve our comprehensive freight forwarding services.
The opening of this warehouse means that in the 12 months since March of last year the KWE China network has increased by 12 its number of business sites, with the network currently comprising 10 companies with 97 business sites in 38 cities. In the future, with a goal of 100 business sites, the KWE group will continue to focus on further expanding its China network.
