COMPANY PROFILE

BRIEF HISTORY

In the present day scenario of highly committed and time bound logistics, still many major corporate concerns and middle level companies find the transportation and supply chain a major challenging task. In logistics where each and every department is interknitted with the other for proper and smooth functioning of the supply chain, the key to success is the SPEED and ACCURACY. Both have to compliment each other equally to produce an effective and successful solution.

In 1997, China Hualian International Trading Company (a government-owned company) and Kimward Development Ltd. found a joint venture H & T Int'l Transportation Ltd., whose portfolio includes ocean freight , air height , int'l shipping agency , land freight , warehousing , custom clearance , insurance , etc. China Hualian International Trading Company holds 55% shares of the new company while Kimward Development Ltd. owns the rest 45%.Both the companies had been working together since 1991 on mutual agreement basis through which they built the everlasting trust and relationship. Since then, H & T has grown by leaps and bounds and was also ranked among the top 10 most profitable freight forwarders in South China in 2002.

Starting from an office in Guangzhou with just over a dozen employees nine years later, H & T has increased its staff to over 700, operating four subsidiaries (H & T Hong Kong, H & T U.S.A., H & T Digital Warehouse Ltd. and H & T Logistics Ltd.), twenty two branch companies and eight representative offices across China:

South China: Shenzhen, Dongguan, Shunde, Zhongshan, Nanhai; Guangzhou; Hong Kong; Shantou

In south China, H & T has established a complete service network, offering daily feeder services to / from major ports (Hong Kong , Guangzhou, Shenzhen) in the area.
