Arkansas Best Expanding Asian Operations

Arkansas Best Freight, the largest subsidiary of Fort Smith-based Arkansas Best Corp., is adding 12 new offices throughout Asia.

The freight and logistics company says it will operate with offices in Indonesia, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Philippines, India and Sri Lanka. These locations are in addition to current ABF offices in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

"ABF’s expanding portfolio of logistics services now extends from the Asian manufacturer’s floor to domestic door delivery. In between, customers benefit from a single point of contact and total end-to-end supply chain visibility," said Roy Slagle, ABF senior vice president of sales and marketing.
