Vietnam’s central location enables faster access to key trade routes such as South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong—areas increasingly vital to global supply chains. We are focused on improving transit times, cross-border access, and delivering integrated solutions that support our customers’ evolving logistics needs.”

This expansion underlines AFCOM’s commitment to building a robust logistics network, strengthening regional ties, and offering reliable, efficient cargo services across Asia.
