Notes to editors
ChainTek is one of the largest providers of logistics services to domestic sports shoes and apparel manufacturers in China and also operates in further sectors including the food, building materials, toiletries and paper industries. The Group's main business operation is located at Jinjiang City, Fujian Province. Jinjiang City is a key manufacturing region in China for sports shoes and apparel in China. Manufacturers in Jinjiang City account for approximately 70 per cent. of the entire production volume of sports shoes and apparel in China.
The Group has a long-standing client base of over 60 manufacturers based in Fujian Province and six of its top ten clients by revenue in 2011 are publicly listed in Hong Kong, USA, Malaysia or Singapore. The Group has two business divisions:
Logistics Services Business
This division is focussed on providing logistics connections between the Group's manufacturer client base and their retail markets in the PRC using a network of eight independent Transport Agents. Efficiencies are achieved for both the Transport Agents and the manufacturers by consolidating the goods of several manufacturers to be delivered to similar destinations at the same time thereby increasing the loading rate on the Transport Agents' trucks and reducing the per unit transportation cost.
Inventory Solutions Business
This division is focussed on providing outsourced inventory storage and management services including sorting, packing, labelling and short term storage. This Inventory Solutions Business was launched in 2010 as the Directors perceived a demand from the Group's existing clients for the provision of the above services which would otherwise be conducted in-house by manufacturers. Manufacturers in China acknowledge that managing logistics and warehousing continues to be not only a complex, but also a relatively costly, part of operations. Performance can also be hampered by the availability of experienced staff, especially at a managerial level with increasing wages. As a result, the Directors believe these services will reduce warehousing costs of the manufacturers and will assist in retaining excellent relationships with the Group's key clients.
