[photopress:ChinaLogisticsFair.jpg,full,alignright]Transport Logistics China (TLC) was held in Shanghai almost immediately after the similar TIACA in Calgary which resulted in a lot of people having an extended travel schedule. There seem to be no complaints. All the travel was thought worth it.
TLC, according to reports, proved to be Asia’s point number one meeting for logistics in 2006. Aramex, Schenker, Cosco Logistics, Infraero Brazilian Airports, MNG Turkish Airlines, K&N, Port of Amsterdam, Dubai Logistics Center, Hellmann Worldwide Logistics, Iberia Cargo were all there.
An attendee said, ‘TLC was a remarkable line up of the transport and logistics industry at Shanghai’s New International Expo Centre. Coming hard on the heels of TIACA in Calgary this show was every bit as important.’
More than 300 exhibitors were there with their products. This is an increase of 40 percent on the first fair of this kind in the eastern Chinese metropolis two years ago.
Around 9,000 visitors found their way to Shanghai to attend the event, among them German Minister of Transport, Wolfgang Tiefensee. He said, ‘I am quite impressed by the strong presence of the German logistics industry, their know-how and expertise here in Shanghai.
Not only the well-known global players but also the middle size companies are able to offer Chinese forwarders complex service solutions for all their needs.’
But logistics is not a one-way street, that’s why we are inviting Chinese agents to invest in Europe and especially in Germany with its state-of-the-art infrastructure, the highly skilled workforce and because of its geographical position right in the middle of the continent.’
