Article华轮威尔森物流全力掌控泰国的销售和客户服务业务
华轮威尔森物流（WWL）透露，该公司在泰国正致力于销售和客户服务业务，目的是“在不断增长的市场更好地协调其业务。”在过去的二十年，这些业务由威尔森船舶服务公司（WSS）经营。华轮威尔森物流表示，由于处理这些业务的团队将保持不变，因此此项举措应该不会影响到该公司与客户的日常关系。 威尔森船舶服务公司销售负责人Sunee Phansatitwong，现在已经加入华轮威尔森物流，并担任泰国地区的商业总经理一职 Phansatitwong 说：“我和我的团队现在已经成为更庞大的物流团队中的一部分，从厂家到经销商提供各个方面的物流服务。我们当然很高兴能继续为我们在该地区的客户提供服务。” 华轮威尔森物流表示，改变业务结构的决定是受该国家市场变化的影响，其中包括汽车制造商大量涌向泰国以及国内生产商扩大生产的形势。 东南亚华轮威尔森物流公司副总裁兼负责人Trond Tønjum指出，有两个主要因素影响物流业务在国内的发展。首先是更好的贸易关系，其中部分是受新亚洲经济共同体（AEC）协议的影响，期望此项协议能够缓解东南亚市场的出口状况；第二个是汽车生产能力的增长。该公司表示，汽车出口有望在未来三到四年翻一番，从120万辆的汽车出口量增长到220万。 Tønjum说：“随着AEC将在2016年1月起生效，我们期望增加跨境贸易。泰国将成为包括缅甸、老挝、柬埔寨和越南在内的大部分东南亚国家的一个自然生产枢纽和中转国。” 业务结构的变化预计将带来效率的提高，以及发展华轮威尔森物流海洋物流之外业务的空间。 Tønjum还说：“泰国现在正以汽车制造商主要出口国的身份，加入全球生产中心的行列，如同墨西哥，南非和其他一些国家一样。与此同时，现在我们希望泰国的商品能够从泰国跨过东南亚出口到欧洲，澳洲和北美，并且我们已经准备好向这些地区提供我们优质的服务，专业技术和支持。”
