Official Contract Signing Ceremony Held at Shenzhen
Distribution Center

    HOUSTON, May 10 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- EGL Eagle Global
Logistics (Nasdaq: EAGL), a leading provider of personalized
supply chain solutions, has recently been awarded a
three-year contract by Huntsman, a global manufacturer and
marketer of differentiated chemicals. As part of the new
warehousing and distribution contract to launch today, EGL
will operate and manage a facility in Qianhaiwan, Shekou
District, Shenzhen, where Huntsman products and materials
will be distributed to more than 10 satellite hubs across
the Asia Pacific region.  This warehouse operation is also
part of EGL's overall expansion plans specific to Southern
China.

    An official contract signing took place at the Shenzhen
distribution center location on April 24, 2007. 
Representatives from EGL and Huntsman, including Marc
Deshamps, Huntsman Vice President, Global Supply Chain;
Vittorio Favati, EGL President Asia Pacific; and Rick Lee,
EGL Vice President of Logistics Asia Pacific were in
attendance for the ceremony.  Festivities included speeches
given from representatives of each company, the China
Merchants Group and China Government officials, as well as
a ribbon cutting and traditional Chinese Lion dance show.

    During Phase I of implementation, EGL will dedicate a
5,500 m2 warehouse for non-dangerous goods, with a
5,000-pallet storage capacity.  Initial forecasts predict
an estimated volume of 500 pallets of non-dangerous
materials during the first phase, with an expectation of
substantial growth to more than 10,000 pallets during later
phases. In addition to the bonded warehouse located in
Shenzhen, a supplementary warehouse in Dongguan will also
play a significant role in the storage and processing of
dangerous materials.  

    "By providing Huntsman with a superior logistics
solution to address the company's unique business needs,
EGL was able to create a simplified process, which will
provide significant cost savings and shorten overall cycle
times," said Favati.  "At EGL, we believe in
providing our customers with seamless customer experience. 
In doing so, our valued customers, such as Huntsman, benefit
from an uncomplicated business process from the beginning of
every cycle through the delivery of every product."

    Influential factors in Huntsman's decision to award the
contract to EGL include the company's ability to streamline
operational processes, with a longer term strategy of
removing excess inventory at each satellite hub location,
ultimately leading to increased supply chain visibility,
improved product velocity and decreased inventory carrying
costs.
