BARLOWORLD Logistics has for the third time in a row landed the contract for Hong Kong's largest bi-annual wine exhibition, Vinexpo Asia Pacific that will be held at the city's Convention and Exhibition Centre from May 29 - 31.
Barloworld was awarded the contract for the event by W&S Logistics, the official French logistics partner of organizer Vinexpo Asia Pacific.
Barloworld will appoint a team of wine logistics experts to manage stock replenishment and the on-site supply of alcohol products to exhibitors. Wines will be stored in optimal temperature controlled conditions and extra care will be taken to handle the fragile packaging of the products. A major challenge will be to deal with a large number of enquiries from exhibitors in a short period of time.
In Hong Kong the wine logistics team will work closely with customs to ensure legal compliance for the import and export of wine and spirits in a city that has become the world's leading wine trading hub.
Compared to the previous exhibition in 2010, this year floor space has been expanded by 25 per cent, with 1,000 exhibitors and 15,000 wine professionals expected to visit the event.
"We have configured a high quality logistics solution for Vinexpo to ensure we can efficiently handle the large volumes of liquor and wine during the three days," said William Tang, managing director of Barloworld Logistics' Far East business, in a company statement.
