New Locations Give Joint Venture Company Worldwide
Coverage

    SEATTLE, Jan. 4 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Lynden Air
Freight dba Lynden International and Kerry Logistics have
entered into a joint venture agreement to provide logistics
and forwarding services.  The Seattle-based joint venture
company, "Kerry-Lynden," will be responsible for
marketing the JV worldwide.

    In addition, Lynden International and Kerry Logistics
expanded their Asia and North American sales and operations
network Jan. 1 by adding more than 30 new locations.  The
new service network, which includes Europe and India,
quadruples the number of Lynden-Kerry offices and offers
customers global coverage. 

    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 Lynden International
President Dennis Patrick. "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." 

    "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 India to
further streamline their experience with us," says
Kerry Joint Managing Director Vincent Wong. 

    The Lynden-Kerry network now includes the following
locations: 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, as well as the U.S., Canada, Mexico and U.S.
Territories such as Puerto Rico and Guam.
