Hi-tech
In the hi-tech sector, Panalpina continues to utilize its
global reach and industry competence to create end-to-end
supply chain management solutions for its customers.
The short lifecycle of hi-tech products requires a very flexible
supply chain design from point-of-sourcing to the end
consumer. Therefore direct-to-market or postponement
solutions are important enablers which help customers cope
with customer demand in dynamic, volatile markets. With
its global presence and industry know-how, Panalpina is
able to offer the hi-tech industry the increasingly complex
and sophisticated transportation and supply chain services
it requires.
Panalpina has recognized that contract equipment manufacturers
(CEMs) are moving their production sites into
the western part of China and as a consequence of this
trend, Panalpina has established successful operations in
China’s western region including locations in Chongqing
and Chengdu. Panalpina is able to provide its hi-tech customers
a strategic mix of transport services and logistics
solutions ranging procurement to warehousing and distribution.
In the fast-moving hi-tech market, Panalpina helps
customers drive productivity improvements throughout
their supply chains with integrated logistics solutions and
transport services ensuring the timely delivery of parts
and products.
