We are honored to have been appointed as one of the three onsite Official Logistics Services Provider for World Expo 2010 Shanghai and to have been granted two Shanghai Expo Star Awards for our contribution towards the launch of the Expo.

Starting on 1 May, the World Expo is a six-month showcase featuring the world’s best cities, companies, organizations, products, cultures and icons. It is the first time China has hosted the event, the world’s largest expo, which is expected to attract an estimated 70 million visitors before its doors officially close on 31 October.

Hosted by Shanghai, on both sides of the city’s Huangpu River, participants at the Expo will include 192 countries and 50 international organisations. Daily visitor numbers are estimated at around 400,000 to 800,000 people.

Expo 2010 Highlights

The theme for the Expo is Better City, Better Life. It will explore the full potential of urban life in the 21st century, a significant period in urban evolution.

By 2010, 55% percent of the world’s population is expected to live in cities. The prospect of future urban life concerns all nations, developed or less developed and their people.

The Expo will explore eco-friendly and sustainable approaches to human habitat, lifestyle and working conditions in the new century.
