MNX has chosen Singapore as its regional hub and headquarters in Asia-Pacific as part of the global logistics firm’s drive to expand business in the region.

“Singapore is at the heart of the network that MNX is building in Asia. All our major customers in the life sciences, aviation, media and entertainment sectors are represented in Singapore, and we will be on hand to support the various industry clusters established in the island state,” said Onno Boots, managing director, Asia Pacific.

“The Singapore office will be expanded to manage all our business development, finance, operations and administrative functions,” he added.

The Singapore branch will also be developed into a customer center of excellence with full warehousing capabilities, including storage and distribution services.

Over the past several months, MNX has acted to strengthen its Asia-Pacific network, setting up its first center of excellence in Melbourne, Australia, and relocating its Hong Kong office to a larger facility.
