Global logistics company Kerry Logistics won the award for Asian 3PL of the Year for the second year in a row at the Supply Chain Asia Logistics Awards held December 6, 2012 in Singapore.
Kerry Logistics retained its Asian crown following a ballot of Supply Chain Asia magazine readers and a final decision by a panel of judges comprising Asia’s leading supply chain academics and leaders.

Its ASEAN-wide road transportation network also connects China (Shanghai, Shenzhen, Kunming) to ASEAN countries (Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore), providing shippers with effective long-haul trucking as well as sea-land and air-land services.
To retain the title of Asian 3PL of the Year, Kerry Logistics had to satisfy the judges in a range of criteria including the size and scale of the Asian network; IT know-how and systems; level of customer service; client partnering/track record in understanding, collaborating well with customers; launch/upgrade of new products and services on an ongoing basis to match market demand; reliability of service and value for money; ability to handle specialized shipments; level of local knowledge of developing Asian markets; approach to sustainability and social responsibility issues and approach to security and risk management.
