June 04, 2007

    SEATTLE, June 4 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Lynden Air
Freight dba Lynden International and Kerry Logistics have
added Australia to their growing list of international
forwarding and logistics coverage. The Seattle-based joint
venture company "Kerry-Lynden" now reaches nearly
40 countries, including Canada, Mexico and U.S. Territories
such as Puerto Rico and Guam.

    "By providing service in more locations worldwide,
our customers can also expand their own operations and
services with the assurance that we offer the same
high-quality support in new geographic areas," says
Lynden International president Dennis Patrick.

    The addition of Australia includes coverage in major
hubs such as Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth
and beyond. 

    In 2006, Lynden International entered into an exclusive
contractual agreement with leading logistics provider Kerry
Freight International Limited, dba Kerry Logistics, to
combine sales and operating resources in North America and
Asia. 

    "This expansion is part of our ongoing strategy to
respond to customers needs," says Kerry Joint Managing
Director Vincent Wong.  "Our customers prefer to trade
with a single global entity instead of multiple agent
partners, so we have expanded into new major world markets
like Australia to further streamline their experience with
us." 

    The Kerry-Lynden network now includes the following
locations: Australia, India, Greater China (The People's
Republic of China, Taiwan, Hong Kong SAR), South Korea,
Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam,
Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, India, United Kingdom,
Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Luxembourg, Germany,
Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic,
the Slovak Republic, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovenia, Croatia,
Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia and
Ukraine.
