U-Freight America has opened a wholly-owned logistics hub in the City of Industry in Lost Angeles. The forwarder will offer air and ocean services from the 80,000sq ft facility and it will also contain an e-commerce fulfillment centre (EFC).

U-Freight America chief executive, Rick Keller, said: “The establishment of U-Freight's new consolidated logistics hub in the City of Industry gives us the perfect location from which to offer full supply chain management and logistics operations for shippers, using the U-Freight Group’s import and export operations through Los Angeles.”

He added: “Our investment in developing enhanced facilities at our EFC in the USA was recently rewarded by our being named as one of the most valuable North America EFC by the China Cross Border Electronic Commerce Professional Committee.”
