Taipei-based 3PL Dimerco Express Group has appointed Jeffrey Shih as the next CEO.

The 35-year logistics veteran has held leadership roles in both corporate logistics and 3PL operations, primarily with Dimerco, and has a successful track record in the company’s operations in Southeast Asia and North America.

Shih will now be responsible for overseeing Dimerco’s air freight, ocean freight and contract logistics divisions. The company said it will continue its expansion and digitalisation efforts moving forward.

Dimerco’s newly appointed CEO said competing in today’s market requires precision-operated supply chains, and partnering with the right global 3PL can be a crucial competitive advantage.

“My focus, first and foremost, will be taking care of the customer and providing the high level of logistics management service they expect,” said Shih.

“Looking ahead, Dimerco will continue its global expansion efforts, particularly in the US market. And we’ll continue to be a major logistics service provider in supply chain digitalization through the use of robotic process automation (RPA) and artificial intelligence (AI) – driving toward elimination of traditional, paper-based work processes that remain all too common in global freight management.”
