Hong Kong Trade Development Council Rewards Crown for Logistics Excellence
In late 2008, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) presented the logistics team from Crown Hong Kong with the “2008 Hong Kong Logistics Award for Medium-sized Enterprises.”
HKTDC is the global marketing arm and public service hub for the Hong Kong-based manufacturers, traders and service exporters. The organization’s activities are geared to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)–the chief drivers of Hong Kong’s trade. With the motto “Saluting Logistics Excellence,” the 2008 HKTDC awards were designed to recognize, promote and commend the outstanding achievements of Hong Kong logistics professionals.
