Mr Pang added, "Indonesia's economic growth has been supported by large domestic consumption and rising incomes, particularly in the middle-income segment. The rise in consumerism creates a growing demand for quality logistics services, especially in sectors such as retail and healthcare. As a leading integrated logistics solutions provider backed by 40 years of extensive experience, we look forward to leverage our capabilities to provide value-added solutions for our customers and partners through this joint venture."
