Global air and ocean freight and logistics services provider, Logwin, has opened a fashion logistics warehouse in Beijing as part of the expansion of its specialist “red carpet logistics network in Asia” following the successful launch of a similar facility in Malaysia.

“In 2012 we are expecting strong growth in the China market for our customers fashion products and the opening of our red carpet logistics warehouse in Beijing demonstrates our confidence in the market,” said Tomas Sonntag, managing director of the region Far East Asia at the company’s air and sea division.

The opening of the facility in the Chinese capital follows a forecast that China’s luxury brand market is expected to grow by 20 per cent in 2012 to US$20 billion, according to a recent survey conducted by Bain & Company.

The 1,500-square-metre-warehouse is located six kilometres from the Beijing airport and offers access to the city centre. The premises are state of the art and are equipped with the latest safety and security systems. The new customised warehouse is the second to open in Asia following the launch of red carpet logistics in Malaysia in November last year, where the first fashion logistics warehouse opened at Shah Alam near Kuala Lumpur.
