Supply chain specialist Tigers has expanded its e-commerce network in Southeast Asia with a new office in Yangon.

The new branch, Tigers Indo China Logistics Co. Ltd., offers logistics services such as international forwarding, customs brokerage and supply chain solutions.

E-commerce capabilities will become available later this year.

“With consistent developments and an annual GDP growth of 7.5%, Myanmar is the country to watch in the Southeast Asia region,” said RS Baskkaran, managing director of Tigers Malaysia and South East Asia. “We are planning to further boost our presence in Myanmar by opening two more domestic offices by the end of the year. We want to be a part of Myanmar’s future in the logistics industry by combining Tigers’ international with our local expertise.”

Tigers is headquartered in Hong Kong and specializes in fulfilment and supply chain solutions for industries such as the pharmaceutical, garments, perishables, electronics and heavy lift sectors.

“Myanmar has tremendous growth potential and fits in with our strategy of focusing on emerging markets,” said Andrew Jillings, CEO and group managing director of Tigers Ltd. “Lying between Malaysia and China, both countries where we already have offices, it further solidifies our presence in the region.”
