ILA links up with Taiwan agent

Agencies has added muscle to its Far East
network through a partnership link-up with
Taiwan-based Dolphin Logistics.
It’s a move that makes logical sense, given
global market developments, says national
sales and marketing director Raymond Cutts.
“For the past 13 years ILA South Africa and
ILA Taiwan have built up a lucrative trade on
the Taiwan – South Africa route.
“But markets change very rapidly and it
has become increasingly important to enter
into partnerships with overseas agents who
can offer global networks and cross-trade
solutions.”
This is the motivation behind the Dolphin
Logistics tie-up, says Cutts.
“The company already forms an integral
part of our international network, and the linkup
in Taiwan was therefore a logical move.
“Dolphin was established in 1995 and
received ISO-9002 accreditation three years
later. They are also listed as a “Top 500 Service
Provider” company in Taiwan which fits in well
with our company orientation.
“We have set ourselves ambitious growth
targets on the route and believe we have the
right partner to achieve our objectives.”
