United Arab Shipping Company (UASC) said it will open a wholly-owned representation office in the Swiss market as of 1st of January 2015.
UASC’s new agency in Switzerland (UASAC Switzerland GmbH) will be a subsidiary of UASAC Deutschland GmbH and will take over all agency activities from Fiege Logistics LTD, which represented UASC in the Swiss market for 24 years.
The company said that the change in representation in Switzerland forms part of UASC’s growth plan and customer-focused strategy, especially in the light of recently signed cooperation agreements with Ocean Three and Hamburg Süd.
“The Swiss market is growing rapidly and this represents a great opportunity for UASC to further strengthen our presence and improve customer accessibility and services,” said Detlev Kerber, Vice President of the UASC Europe Cluster. “We believe that establishing a wholly-owned UASC presence in the Swiss market will enable us to directly understand our customer requirements and build enduring relationships that deliver tangible business results.”
