BAX Global and Schenker formally merge in Thailand

BAX Global (Thailand) Limited has legally merged with Schenker (Thai) Ltd from the beginning of this month. The newly merged company is operating under the name of Schenker (Thai) Ltd.

The integration of the two companies in Thailand brings Schenker and BAX Global open step closer to completing the integration of all their companies around the world, a process that has been ongoing since BAX Global was acquired by DB Logistics in January 2006, of which Schenker is a part.

The company release said that the merged Schenker (Thai) is now ranked among the top three supply chain service providers in this southeast Asian nation, with a combined 1,100 staff working in 12 branches in Thailand, Laos and Myanmar. Schenker alone has been operating in Thailand for 33 years.

Schenker Thailand is being primed for future growth as two more free trade zone warehouses in Survarnabhumi Airport and a logistics hub each in the Bangkok and Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate area are scheduled to be opened in 2008, the statement said.

Schenker is the land, sea and air freight branch of DB Logistics, which is the freight transportation and logistics division of German railway group, Deutsche Bahn.
