LOGWIN, a provider of air and ocean freight and logistics services, has opened a new office in the fast-growing industrial city of Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province, astride the middle reaches of the Yangtze.

The office will bring the company's network to 28 offices in China. Wuhan, with its population of 10 million, is the location of the third office Logwin has opened in China this year.

 "Our office will provide us with a platform to engage new customers from a broad spectrum of industries," said Henk Westerhoek, country director for Central and Northern China.

 The company said it wants to expand in order to create as many opportunities as possible across transportation, warehousing, logistics services and freight forwarding for its customers in China.

 In Wuhan, it will target the automotive, machinery and equipment, retail and consumer goods. In order to meet demand in the growing fashion and lifestyle sector, the company said it launched its "red carpet" logistics product in Asia last year. In China, it opened its dedicated "red carpet" logistics warehouse in Beijing to meet increasing demand for warehousing and transport services for premium European and US fashion and lifestyle products.

 Logwin will also focus on growing demand in Wuhan's maritime sector with its Ship Parts Logistics for supplying ships with components and replacement parts.
