With a trade volume of over €145 billion, China is one of Germany’s most important trading partners.

In order to strengthen its Chinese/German trade-lane offer and in response to customer demand, Yusen Logistics Germany is sending a German team member to Shanghai to focus on further expanding trade-lane activity between both countries.

Marco Reichel will be joining the Yusen Shanghai sales team shortly and will focus initially on supporting German companies located in China, as well as being the contact point for Yusen Logistics Germany for solution design and further product development.

In Shanghai he will be part of a young, international team, focusing on developing trade relationships with their home countries. Supported by the Yusen China Business Development Team, this eliminates communication difficulties and enables clear understanding of local requirements, as well as faster response times for import and export solutions.

Mario Cavallucci, Managing Director Yusen Logistics Germany, said: “Yusen has been developing this trade lane in response to increasing demand for flexible shipping options, offering a full range of services to include LCL, FCL and Airfreight, as well as comprehensive added value services.”
