Sustainability is more than a mere buzzword for dynamic international freight forwarder Mainfreight. It is a core principle that shapes every aspect of the business, from air and ocean, warehousing and transport, to customer and supplier relationships.

According to Cary Chung, CEO of Mainfreight in Asia, the company’s sustainable approach focuses on essential commodities, such as pharmaceutical, healthcare and food and beverage products that “make the city breathe”.

“By delivering self-sufficient freight, Mainfreight can grow organically and consistently while ensuring all its verticals contribute to sustainability,” Chung said. “Consumables go through multiple warehouses and clearances worldwide, so we ensure our cost centres use our divisions to manage the freight process and technology efficiently and reliably. We want customers to benefit from all our services.”

Mainfreight’s success is built upon its nimble structure, non-hierarchical network, and investment in a young and local team with extensive capabilities in airfreight, ocean freight, transport and warehousing. The company strives to provide tailored and comprehensive solutions for its customers, leveraging its culture of quality, ownership, longevity and continuous learning.

Despite the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, Mainfreight has demonstrated its commitment to airline and shipping partners and customers, maintaining continuity of operations throughout the crisis. With offices in 10 Asian countries, including China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, and an 11th branch opening in India, Mainfreight is deepening its local knowledge and presence in the region.

“At Mainfreight, hard work, humility, and care for people, partners and customers are deeply ingrained values,” Chung said. “Like any organisation, we go through challenges and disagreements, but we nurture our team and develop our people from within, contributing to the growth of people, businesses and communities. By hiring local talent and stimulating infrastructure development, Mainfreight is making a positive impact in the areas and countries where it operates.”
