Trucking firm ABF Freight System has opened offices in 12 countries in the region as part of its global expansion and move toward a contract-based supply chain business.

The Arkansas-based ABF said in a news release that it has set up branches in Indonesia, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Philippines, India, and Sri Lanka.

The additional branches augment the company’s existing offices in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan and will provide “seamless, single-contact supply chain solutions for customers importing from Asian manufacturing centers.”

“ABF’s expanding portfolio of logistics services now extends from the Asian manufacturer’s floor to domestic door delivery,” said Roy Slagle, ABF senior vice president of sales and marketing.
