SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- England Logistics, one of America's premier third-party logistics (3PL) providers, has been granted status in China as a Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise (WFOE) with a license to provide International Freight Forwarding services.  This status allows the company to fully operate in China without requiring agents or joint ventures.

"We are excited about this new status for our China operations," said Josh England, England Logistics president. "This will now offer us greater opportunities to serve customers who are seeking a partner in China to help them move products into or out of the country. This is a critical next step for us to become a logistics leader in China."

England Logistics has established offices in Shanghai, Ningbo, Qingdao, Dalian, and Tianjin that interact with its global network of offices.  With the WFOE status, England Logistics will expand services in Supply Chain Consulting, Ocean and Air International Freight Forwarding, and Special Projects cargo. Companies that can benefit from England's capabilities in China include those whose supply chains involve sourcing from, distributing to or moving product between points within China.  

"Current and potential customers have been pleased to hear we are in China as they know they can depend on the integrity of the England name," England said. "Our goal is to combine opportunities with customers and demonstrate how we can facilitate mutual needs in this vibrant market."
