Logistics provider Globe Express Services has added four new corporate locations in Moscow, Russia; Beijing and Nanjing, China; and Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

The company now operates 49 corporate offices worldwide, just one short of its target of expanding to 50 offices by the end of 2011. GES' broader market presence reflects its commitment to putting the right people in the right places to support its growth plans.
 
Vice President Canada David Pupco, who played an integral role in GES's entry into Russia, said: "GES Moscow will provide a full range of logistic services in Russia for import and export clients, including local deliveries by rail and trucks, warehousing, Customs clearance, ocean and air freight deliveries worldwide. Moving forward, Moscow will serve as our head office for Russia as we extend our operations across the entire country."
 
As a top 20 non-vessel operating common carrier in the transpacific trade, GES also is expanding its China platform with new offices in Beijing and Nanjing, bringing its total number of in-country corporate locations to 12.
 
"As the importance of China continues to increase in the company's global strategy, we have added a presence in Beijing to strengthen our network in northern China, and in Nanjing to further develop our coverage in Jiangsu province," said President of Asia Pacific & Indian Subcontinent Georges Mejaes. "Beijing will serve as one of our three international air hub stations in China, along with Shanghai and Guangzhou. Nanjing is the second largest city in the Yangtze River Delta region, and an important national base of scientific and technological innovation. We are confident that this expansion will help improve our ability to serve various key industries such as high-tech, manufacturing, automotive, textiles, chemicals and pharmaceuticals."
 
GES Abu Dhabi represents the company's third corporate office in the UAE. This new location will serve the $5 billion Khalifa Port and Industrial Zone, which is set to handle up to 47.4 million tons of cargo and become the largest logistics facility in the Gulf region.
 
"Our new Abu Dhabi office is a key addition to our Middle Eastern operations as we pursue a broader presence across the region," said Managing Director Gulf States Mustapha Kawam. "As the capital city of one of the Arab world's most dynamic economies, Abu Dhabi offers significant logistics potential in light of the UAE€™s world-class infrastructure and its growing role as a global trade hub. Abu Dhabi represents an important platform for achieving our growth goals for the Middle East."
 
GES delivers customized logistics solutions to a diverse global client base doing business in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, the Americas and around the world.
