SINGAPORE, March 27, 2000 - Federal Express (FedEx), the world's
largest express transportation company, has been named Best Total
Logistics Operator for the fifth consecutive year running at the
14th Asian Freight Industry Awards (AFIA). In addition, FedEx once
again received top honors as the Best All Cargo Airline and Best
Air Cargo Carrier: North America.
Accepting the awards on behalf of FedEx were Peter Mok, Managing
Director - Electronic Commerce, Asia Pacific and Rahim Tahir, Managing
Director - Logistics, South Pacific at the awards ceremony in Singapore
on March 27.
"It is a great honor to receive three industry awards. We are
grateful for our customers' and the Asian freight industry's continued
support," said Mr. David Cunningham, President, FedEx Asia Pacific.
"The award for Best Total Logistics Operator, in particular, reaffirms
FedEx's longstanding strength and capabilities in the supply chain
management area. With the advent of e-commerce and the globalization
of markets around the world, effective and efficient logistics solutions
are becoming critical to the continued success of companies. We
believe that FedEx provides a unique service to customers by offering
a one-stop shop of integrated solutions that draw upon our unparalleled
transportation, technology and warehousing networks," continued
Mr. Cunningham.
The AFIA is held annually by Cargonews Asia, the leading freight
industry trade publication in the region. More than 13,000 readers,
which include customers and service users, were individually balloted
and asked to vote for the best service providers in 37 industry-specific
categories. The AFIA is the only awards event in which winners are
selected by customers instead of a panel of judges. All returned
nomination forms and final ballot forms are audited by international
auditor Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu.
