Tigers adds to its e-commerce stripes in China and Malaysia
21 / 09 / 2018
Global e-commerce fulfilment expert Tigers has opened an office in Suzhou, China, and a fulfilment centre in Selangor, Malaysia, to serve the region’s booming e-tail market.
The new e-Fulfilment Logistics Centre is Tigers’ second Malaysian operation, after the automotive fulfilment centre in Kota Kinabalu, East Malaysia.
The Suzhou office is located 30 minutes from Shanghai, China, where Tigers recently opened a facility to meet growing e-customer demand in both the business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-customer (B2C) sectors.
“China and Southeast Asia are two of the fastest growing regions in the world for online retail, and we will continue to support that growth by providing state-of-the-art facilities to meet customer demand,” said Andrew Jillings, chief executive and group managing director, Tigers.
Tigers specialises in e-commerce fulfilment, transportation, and supply chain solutions across a wide range of industries, including automotive, fashion, outdoor and active lifestyle, health, technology, wine, and perishables.
Edison Zhang, Tigers’ general manager–sales, China, said: “We are experiencing strong sales activity in Suzhou, and there are plans for further expansion into the Chinese market, where we already have 15 locations.”
The 10,000 sq ft Selangor facility will operate as a headquarter for seafreight, e-commerce, and logistics, and is located 20 minutes away from Port Klang, 40 minutes from Kuala Lumpur International Airport, and one hour from Kuala Lumpur city centre.
The new facilities in Asia follow the opening of a new office at Frankfurt Airport in Germany in July, which will act as a gateway to Europe by creating a trade lane between Germany and South Africa.
