U-Freight Logistics to provide wine storage services in Hong Kong

MANILA, Philippines — The Hong Kong Quality Assurance Agency (HKQAA) has approved U-Freight Logistics' facilities in Hong Kong that would provide commercial wine storage services after a detailed examination and on-site audit.

HKQAA has partnered with the industry to develop the HKQAA Wine Storage Management Systems Certification Scheme for wine storage companies and wine retailers, the first of its kind in the world.

The scheme has been championed by the industry and a significant number of wine storage facilities have already been awarded the certification. U-Freight Logistics is pleased to be joining them.

The certification means that U-Freight Logistics (HK) Limited is officially able to provide commercial wine storage services within the company’s warehouse at Kwai Chung.

At its landmark logistics centre at Pudong Airport, Shanghai, the U-Freight Group also offers a sophisticated wine tasting suite where buyers and sellers can sample wine as well as comprehensive wine storage facilities with sophisticated temperature and humidity control mechanisms.

U-Freight CEO Simon Wong said: “The accreditation in Hong Kong and the development in Shanghai came at just the right time for us to support China’s burgeoning wine market and to help French imports into the Chinese market."

"We have seen robust growth of wine-related business activities in Hong Kong and mainland China since approval from HKQAA, which partnered with the industry to develop the HKQAA Wine Storage Management Systems Certification Scheme for wine storage companies and wine retailers. The fact that this was the first of its kind in the world is all-important to us," said Wong.
