" In 1983 a new freight company launched onto the Australian market. Its
name was Transways - a small Australian owned and operated company with a very
definite strategic plan, to become the largest, most successful player in a
future key geographical freight market. A market that would not only
become paramount to the future success of Australia, but one which would
rapidly expand to become a central hub in world wide trade.
Whilst most companies were concentrating on key European freight ports,
Transways were steadily building, through acquisition and amalgamation, a
dynamic presence throughout the world, with special emphasis on export and
import to and from China and the Asian region.
Twenty years later that plan has become a reality and its rationale a
fact. Asia, not Europe, now hosts the world's four busiest ports of Hong
Kong, Shanghai (China), Busan (Korea) and Yantian (Shenzhen) also in China.
Trade to and from this region has grown at a dramatic pace with ports
such as Shanghai experiencing an incredible 25% annual increase in freight
volume.
Transways Logistics International has matched this dynamic regional growth by creating a successful
network of company owned offices and affiliated networks throughout the whole
of Asia. From the head office in Sydney with its regional offices
throughout Australia, to the 11 company owned offices in just China, as well
as Singapore, Taiwan, Korea, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam – Transways Logistics International has
become Australia’s link to this increasingly important South East Asian
region. To see the complete network of Transways offices please see our
International Agents and offices page.
But as many people have experienced, doing business with Asian countries
often requires localised knowledge and expertise and this is where Transways Logistics International
excel. Growing through acquisition has enabled the group to create a
unique network of offices managed and staffed by dedicated local people who
know how to get the very best results for their customers, not once, but every
time!
Aided by the very latest sophisticated “customer direct” 24 hour computer
tracking facilities that allow instant freight status reports, coupled with a
complete one-stop freight service, including international documentation,
custom broking, tariff consulting and valuation, pick and pack logistics,
under bond and free store warehousing and distribution.
It’s no wonder that many customers are turning to Transways Logistics International as their
logical choice. "
