The international forwarding and logistics services provider Panalpina has opened a second branch office in Wuhan, Hubei province. The Switzerland-based company said the office would boost its Wuhan centralised services centre and further expand its services in China’s inland cities.

“Hubei, Hunan and Jiangxi’s fast growing hi-tech, automotive and pharmaceutical companies will now have the local presence of a reliable global player providing solutions specifically designed for their industries,” said Robert Timmerman, managing director Greater China.
