Ryder's New Offering to Provide Retailers With Source-to-Store Logistics Capabilities Between Asia and North America

Ryder System, Inc. (NYSE: R), a leader in transportation and supply chain management solutions, today announced it has signed a joint venture (JV) partnership with Cargo Services Far East Limited (CSFE), an Asia-based logistics solutions provider specializing in export consolidation services.

The combined strengths of the companies will create a comprehensive, end-to-end service offering, with full geographic coverage throughout Asia, for North American retailers and other companies importing from Asia.

"This partnership gives us an extensive network throughout Asia and builds on our purchase order management and export consolidation capabilities to deliver seamless international solutions to the retail marketplace," said Ryder's President of Global Supply Chain Solutions, John Williford. "The partnership applies our strengths in operational execution, engineering and information technology to enable us to help retailers and other U.S. importers design, plan and manage their product flows from factories in Asia to retail stores across North America."

Operating as Ryder Supply Chain Solutions Asia, the solution will provide Vendor and Purchase Order Management, Inland Transport Services, Export Consolidation and Order Fulfillment Services, including Distribution Center Bypass and Store-Ready Pallet Construction from Asia to North America. It builds upon Ryder's recent acquisition of CRSA Logistics, which manages Trans-Pacific end-to-end transportation management and supply chain services for Canadian retailers, including consolidation services in key Asian hubs and deconsolidation operations in Canada.

Mr. John Lau, Group Managing Director of CSFE, stated, "We entered into this partnership with Ryder because they are a well-respected, Fortune 500 company with more than 30 years of supply chain expertise. Together, we can leverage each other's logistics capabilities and expertise to offer a better solution to retailers and traders of consumer products. Users of these services require a personalized and attentive international supply chain for the execution of their purchase orders placed in China and the rest of Asia and the movement of their products to destinations in North America."
