Making a Mark<br />
Yang Kee Logistics Pte Ltd envisions itself to be not just a service-provider of quality<br />
service, but as a long-term strategic partner with the most effective logistical solutions.<br />
the business of logistics is<br />
not easy: managing a supply<br />
chain to ensure that all<br />
deliverables are safely and<br />
punctually sent to the stated<br />
address can be a daunting task. From<br />
the storing of products in secured<br />
warehouses to the physical moving of<br />
the items over air, land and sea, multiple<br />
factors exist between the point of origin<br />
all the way to the eventual hands of<br />
the end-user. In the modern global<br />
marketplace where the onus is on speed<br />
and reliability, the blend of warehousing<br />
facilities, distribution/forwarding centers,<br />
logistical equipment and other elements<br />
must be in tandem, consistent and<br />
seamless.<br />
Yang Kee Logistics Pte Ltd was first<br />
established in 1990 as a transportation<br />
company. It had a humble beginning,<br />
starting out with only two trucks as it<br />
began to make its mark on the industry.<br />
Over time, Yang Kee slowly expanded<br />
its business to include warehousing in<br />
1993 and then to one-stop, customised<br />
supply-chain solutions in 1997. As<br />
business picked up, the company<br />
started to slowly expand, eventually<br />
culminating into a global operation<br />
with three main business verticals<br />
and a network of reliable supply-chain<br />
partners.<br />
Today, Yang Kee is one of Singapore’s<br />
top end-to-end logistics and<br />
warehousing companies with a<br />
200-strong team of dedicated staff<br />
equipped with in-depth expertise<br />
and experience in a broad range of<br />
industries.<br />
all-in-one logistical Solutions<br />
As a complete logistics solutions<br />
provider, Yang Kee’s expertise lies in<br />
third party logistics such as Warehousing<br />
& Inventory Management, Distribution,<br />
LCL & FCL Transportation & Cross<br />
Border Transportation, Project Logistics,<br />
Chemical Handling & Storage as well as<br />
International Freight Forwarding.<br />

operations on a<br />
global scale, Yang Kee exercises<br />
complete control over all aspects of the<br />
logistical supply chain, giving customers<br />
peace of mind and ensuring timely<br />
delivery. In addition to operations in<br />
key commercial centers, the company<br />

Asia, the Middle East, North America,<br />

approach to varying business needs,<br />

come up with a truly effective solution<br />
that streamlines the supply chain<br />
operation while maximising business<br />
performance.<br />
Advancing with the times, Yang Kee<br />
invests in the latest technology for<br />
systems, equipment and facilities<br />
which help them bring even more value<br />
to their supply chain. An integrated<br />
E-Logistics System has helped to<br />
push the company’s efficiency by 25<br />
per cent, while the one-stop Chemical<br />
Logistics Hub at Jurong Pier Road is<br />
outfitted with state-of-the-art facilities<br />
and a robust IT infrastructure for better<br />
handling of in-house logistics as well as<br />
to provide tailor-made turnkey logistics<br />
solutions.<br />
