CAINIAO EXPANDS GLOBAL NETWORK WITH NEW E-HUBS
September 10, 2024

Cainiao Group has announced the launch of the second batch of its global e-commerce logistics hubs (e-Hubs), aimed at creating a shared infrastructure that supports all e-commerce platforms, merchants, and brands in their efforts to sell both online and offline worldwide.

 

Cainiao said this initiative is part of its global strategy to strengthen its end-to-end logistics capabilities and achieve the long-term goal of global deliveries within 72 hours. 

 

"In e-commerce, supply chain and logistics are crucial competitive factors," said Joe Tsai, co-founder and chairman of Alibaba Group, chairman of Cainiao Smart Logistics Network.

 

"Alibaba is fully supporting Cainiao's global expansion to build a logistics network that meets future industrial and supply chain needs. By integrating AI-driven innovations and focusing on a customer-first approach, we encourage Cainiao to build a logistics network that serves the open market, addresses diverse customer needs, and acts as a shared infrastructure for global business partners," he added.

 

Wan Lin, CEO of Cainiao Group, noted that as a global leader in e-commerce logistics, Cainiao has continuously invested in building a worldwide logistics network.

 

"This expansion is a vital step in enhancing Cainiao's international express delivery, overseas local delivery services, and supply chain solutions. It will strengthen our position in the fast-growing e-commerce and logistics market, allowing us to deliver enhanced end-to-end logistics solutions that improve retail experiences for our customers and facilitate their global expansion," he said.

 

Cainiao noted that it will begin constructing the second batch of e-Hubs in "strategic locations" to strengthen control over key nodes in its global network.

 

It did not disclose the specific locations, yet, however.

 

Currently, the company operates several e-Hubs in Liège, Kuala Lumpur, and Hong Kong, all positioned near high-traffic airports with multi-modal capabilities to improve connectivity to major markets globally. These hubs integrate cargo terminals, customs clearance, and sorting functions. 

 

"With more e-Hubs planned for the future, Cainiao is well-positioned to facilitate the fast and smooth movement of e-commerce parcels, serving a broad spectrum of industries and sectors," the company added.
