The Lucio Tan Group of Companies (LTGC) is set to enter into an alliance with Airfreight 2100 Inc., the sole licensee of Federal Express, the world’s largest air transportation company, for the group’s logistical requirements.

This alliance will enable LTGC to tap the worldwide service networks of FedEx and enhance the group’s competitiveness in today’s eCommerce marketplace. Other benefits foreseen in this tie-up include the reduction of unnecessary high inventory levels, reduced warehousing costs, and enhanced customer service for LTGC.

On the other hand, Airfreight 2100 Inc./FedEx, would be able to capture a huge chunk of the logistical business requirements of LGTC – a business conglomerate, which has diverse investments in various industries such as hotel, distillery, travel, banking, and food products among others.
