Container xchange opens first office in Karachi.

Container xChange, one of the world's largest logistics technology companies, has opened its first office in Pakistan in the cosmopolitan city of Karachi, the transport hub of Pakistan. The new office, located at Machiyara Springfield, Clifton, Karachi will offer a global and neutral online platform for trading and leasing of shipping containers.

The announcement comes on the back of the company's endeavour to revolutionise digital adoption for Pakistan's container logistics industry so the customers can grow their business to become truly global organisations and achieve operational efficiency and transparency at every step of container operations.

Commenting on the launch, Dr. Johannes Schlingmeier, co-founder and CEO, Container xChange said, "We are excited about our expansion in Pakistan which is a hub for NVOCCs and an important market in South Asia for Container xChange. With an excellent on ground team here in Pakistan, we aim to support our growing customer base in their journey towards digital adoption for container operations. Therefore, it only makes business sense to develop our services further in the country."

Container xChange is a technology company that works towards developing a one-stop shop for digital container operations infrastructure. The company enables container logistic players to reduce idle container times and find business partners, plan one-way moves, handle the process of container movement end-to-end and overall, contribute in reducing the carbon emissions of the shipping industry.

"With the opening of this new facility, our aim is to cater to the growing demand of our business amongst the container logistic players in Pakistan. The great disruptions in the supply chain have led companies to rethink their logistics strategy and Container xChange has been at the forefront of transforming the face of container logistics globally. We are confident that having a physical entity in Pakistan will greatly benefit the NVOCCs, shipping lines and freight forwarders to build agility and resilience for their business, which is key to business sustenance especially during these times", said Christian Roeloffs, co-founder and CEO, Container xChange.
