Jakarta office launches in response to demand for logistics expertise in Southeast Asia
As part of its ongoing organic expansion strategy, global supply chain solutions leader, AIT Worldwide Logistics, opened its first office in Jakarta, Indonesia. The new facility represents the eighth country in the AIT-Asia network and exemplifies the company’s adaptability and flexibility in response to customer demands in the region.
According to AIT’s Chief Strategy Officer, Greg Weigel, the team in Jakarta will collaborate with AIT’s expansive global network to quickly customize sea, air and road solutions unique to each client’s organizational needs, with a particular focus on the region’s flourishing industrial, technology and telecommunications sectors.
“Jakarta is a pivotal market for us as we continue our expansion in Asia,” Weigel said. “By establishing our presence in Indonesia, we’re not only positioning AIT to tap into a region with enormous opportunities, but also enhancing our ability to provide localized, high-quality service that directly meets the needs of our customers.”
AIT’s Vice President, Operations, Asia Pacific, Tony Tong, oversees the facility, which provides comprehensive freight forwarding services with a primary focus on air and ocean imports and exports. He reports to Senior Vice President, Asia Pacific, Wilson Lee.
Lee said the team will also offer value-added services including local delivery between islands, customs clearance, white glove handling, and more.
“Our comprehensive service offerings will set us apart in this market,” Lee noted. “We back them up with years of global expertise, dedicated local staff, and flexible, customized solutions that are aligned with Indonesia’s key industries, like petroleum, natural gas, textiles, and mining.”
The strategically located office is situated near two international airports, as well as Jakarta Bay. Certified gold by Indonesia’s Green Building Council, the new facility joins more than 150 other AIT locations across the globe.
