U-Freight sets up e-commerce hub in South Korea
U-Freight Korea has opened a new logistics hub in Incheon to support its growing e-commerce business. The e-commerce fulfilment centre (EFC) will process domestic and cross-border e-commerce shipments for business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) fulfilment.
With the anticipated increase in e-commerce logistics volumes, especially from South Korea to Vietnam, U-Freight Korea decided to invest in a bespoke temperature-controlled facility with easy access for e-commerce vendors and buyers based in South Korea.
U-Freight Korea’s new EFC will also house the company’s headquarters, which is moving from the existing multipurpose warehouse located in Incheon airport’s free trade zone.
This multipurpose warehouse, which is not suitable for e-commerce logistics operations, will continue to be used for more conventional general and bulk freight forwarding operations. (mw)
