JAMAICA, N.Y., July 19, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Pacific CMA, Inc. (AMEX:PAM), an integrated provider of global freight forwarding/logistics focused on the growing China and Asian trade, today announced that its Hong Kong operating unit, AGI Logistics (HK) Ltd., has entered into a services and marketing agreement with Airlog Group of Helsingborg, Sweden. The Agreement, which is now in effect, significantly expands AGI's freight forwarding and logistics services between Asia and the Scandinavian countries of Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland.
Alfred Lam, Pacific CMA's Chairman and CEO, said that the Company is very pleased to have this opportunity to help customers manage their supply chain, and to arrange the most effective way for them to ship products between these economically vibrant Scandinavian countries and Asia, particularly Hong Kong and China. "In the first four months of 2006 alone, imports and exports between Hong Kong and Scandinavia have exceeded $5.2 billion. We believe our extensive network of air, land and ocean transportation contacts and our expertise in regard to customs regulations, shipping rates and schedules will be extremely valuable in facilitating this high level of shipping activity.
