London, 29 May - SBS Worldwide has been selected by
sportswear wholesaler
Division Six to implement and operate a pan-Asia warehousing and
distribution
supply chain operation.
SBS Worldwide will provide Division Six, which partners with well
known brands and
national retailers to liquidate dated, discontinued and overstock
merchandise, with
transport and storage solutions for quantities of branded garments
from multiple
factories around South East Asia and China for re-sale and
distribution within Asia,
as well as Australia and South Africa.
SBS Worldwide provides bonded and non-bonded logistics facilities
throughout Asia
to handle the project and also manages the logistics, factory tax
reclaims and export
documentation to ensure trouble-free storage, sortation, picking
and distribution
when the goods are sold.
Stephen Schwarz, Business Development, Division Six, said: “SBS
Worldwide’s
ability to implement a pan-Asia supply chain operation using
warehousing across the
region tailored to our exact requirements has been impressive.
“Operations are extremely reliable despite the complex nature of
the operation and
the level of local expertise required.”
SBS Worldwide Group Chairman Steve Walker added: “The project
required a
supply chain solution that could handle multiple origins, varying
quantities of product
and needed to be operated by a company with knowledge of Asian
export regimes.
“Making the project even more complex, final destination of
products is unknown until
Division Six has sold the goods.”
SBS Worldwide designed the operation to ensure that parties
involved could benefit
from tax incentive schemes.
In countries operating export tax incentive schemes, factories
have a limited
timeframe in which to reclaim the tax benefit after the date of
export, however the
goods may not be shipped out of the country within this timeframe
after being sold
and delivered to Division Six.
To avoid any delay for the exporter in receiving the tax rebate,
SBS Worldwide
arranges for the goods to be ‘exported’ into bonded logistics
facilities around Asia
and assists the factory in the rebate application.
The goods are then held securely and ‘exported’ out of the origin
country, pending
onward distribution to multiple buyers in multiple locations at
later dates.
The contract follows on from SBS Worldwide’s satisfactory handling
of Division Six’s
Full Container Load business from China to
USA.</DIV></BODY></HTML>
