Maimex-Beretti tie-up accents door-to-door solutions for fashion shippers

2012 04 03


ITALIAN freight forwarding expert, Maimex Far East, and warehousing and quality control apparel specialist Beretti Group, celebrated their newly formed partnership with an official launch in Hong Kong recently.

The merger, which has been one year in the making, now offers fashion and apparel shippers an end-to-end supply chain solution with an added emphasis on attention to detail and quality service, said Maimex Far East CEO, Stefano Casella and Beretti Group CEO, Gianmaria Beretti.

"We provide the full list of services for the supply chain. From the moment the supplier has finished the production we can then go and pick up the goods, bring them to the warehouse, check the quality and prepare the order to go to different countries.

"We can handle order replenishment in case there is a fault or other problem. We also handle the customs clearance and oversee the whole process right to the point of delivery," Mr Casella said.

While the China-Italy trade is a major focal point of the Maimex-Beretti partnership, the two companies have also established themselves in the fast-growing Brazilian market with warehousing facilities now located in the country.

Southeast Asia is next on the radar as the supply chain partners look to expand their global network and offer the high level of service that both companies have come to be known for over the past 30 years to an even wider customer base.

"I think what is most important with this partnership is that we can take care of the customer right from the beginning, no matter what country we are in," Mr Beretti said.

"Right from the production side, whether it is in China, Southeast Asia, Brazil or Italy, we offer the full range of services to get the product to its final destination," he said.

Value-added services are central to the group's success, the two CEOs noted. But what really sets the Maimex-Beretti Group collaboration apart, in what is a very competitive niche market, is its people.

"The key of our company, the true added value, comes from the Italian mentality for fashion. Each station, each warehouse for the group has inside it; experts from Italy, coming from Italian factories, speaking the Italian language. But also we seek out people who also speak the language of the markets we are in. So of course they can speak Italian, but they can also speak and write in Chinese. And it is the same story in Brazil or wherever else we go," Mr Casella said.

Looking ahead the two CEOs acknowledged the challenges going forward, given the gloomy economic outlook, but they remain optimistic.

"There are so many companies that are still looking for good service. And the crisis is helping us in that respect because more people are caring about the quality of their products now," the Maimex CEO said.

Mr Beretti agreed, stating that the group's ongoing commitment to quality service would be a message that would continue to resonate with customers in its key markets going forward.
