C.H. Robinson has appointed Jack Chang and John Chen as vice presidents of Asia Global Forwarding.

“Asia is an important market for C.H. Robinson, and China is a hub for our business in the region, which is a critical part of our global growth strategy,” said Andy Wang, president of C.H. Robinson Asia. “With proven expertise in logistics, I believe Jack and John will further strengthen our business in Asia, especially in China, and provide strong support to our customers through innovative supply chain solutions in this region.”
