AUSTRALASIA product and volumes ; therefore , we have more than one reason to believe that our future looks bright ,” Mr . Civardi said .
The overall need to diversify with more intense focus on air and ocean is two-fold :
“ Damco has historically maintained a unique selling point based on our exceptional people and our innovative supply chain management products . Looking forward , we are convinced we have what it takes to reach the same level of excellence in air and ocean , as these businesses are complementary in nature to our supply chain management clientele who are constantly seeking ways to engage us from an end-toend perspective — and based on the significant progresses occurred lately , we ’ re well on track !” he added .
Looking forward , by expanding into these emerging markets , Damco expects to have a larger share of the import business and to target growth from the technology industry and other sectors , including manufacturing . Many of the firms selected for growth are in Vietnam , the location selection being primarily due to the still substantial labor costs arbitrage compared to . China . In an effort to predict key trends for supply chains in general , Mr . Civardi believes that there will be even more focus on emerging markets as key growth propellers , and that China will continue to play a very important role in the region .
