07/16--MTO accreditation opens growth opportunity for Dimerco in India
Taiwan based transportation and logistics specialist Dimerco has been awarded *MTO (Multimodal Transport Operator) status in India, opening up new opportunities for growth for the company in the subcontinent.
Although well established in India, recognized as a Top 5 Freight Forwarder for inbound volume of Chennai Air Cargo Complex by AAI Cargo Logistics and Allied Services with a network of six owned offices and twelve partner offices, the MTO license will now enable Dimerco to provide extended services to shippers, moving cargo from any land point in India to and from any destination in the world, under a single Contract of Carriage.
Under the terms of India’s Multimodal Transportation Act, only those companies who are registered by the Director General of Shipping can carry out Multimodal Transportation, to protect the interests of shippers. Dimerco’s MTO accreditation demonstrates that it has the necessary expertise, infrastructure and financial status to undertake such Multimodal Transportation.
According to Mr. Edward Lin, CEO of Dimerco, the achievement of MTO status will benefit both customers and partner carriers.
He explains, “The manufacturing hubs in India, which contribute a major share of exports, are located deep in the hinterland and far away from the gateway ports. Therefore, the potential for multimodal transportation - including long and short hauls - is immense. As a Multimodal Transport Operator, Dimerco can now take responsibility for transporting cargo from one point to another, utilising more than one mode of transport, ensuring more efficient and cost-effective door to-door movement of goods for our customers.
We can also now work better with ocean carriers, since carriers do not handle shipments from offline/inland areas of India, so for Dimerco MTO recognition is key for our business development and carrier relationships in India.”
The MTO certification has not only enabled Dimerco to provide more extensive multimodal services to customers, but has also gained recognition for the company within the international forwarding community as approved by the Indian government for multimodal transport operations.

06/14--Dimerco overcomes delays to deliver outsize cargo on time
When vessel delays and a Customs hold on arrival at Savannah Port in U.S.A. threatened to prevent Chinese customer Tech-Long Inc., a Leading Packaging Machinery Supplier of the Bottling Industry, from exhibiting at a major trade show in Florida, Taiwanese transportation and logistics provider Dimerco’s responsive solution saved the situation, ensuring that the 9 massive blow moulding, filling and capping machines, totalling 26.9 metric tons in weight, were in place on time for day one of the event.
The out of gauge cargo had travelled from Tech-Long’s factory in Guangzhou, China and was destined for the National Plastics Exhibition at the Orange County Convention Centre (OCCC) in Orlando, Florida. Dimerco was responsible for managing the entire process for Tech-Long, from planning the most efficient route, arranging sea freight and inland transportation, to US Customs brokerage and coordinating with the OCCC’s nominated logistics provider. However, once Dimerco received notification that the cargo had been unavoidably delayed, this is where experience and an agile network enabled the company to develop an effective recovery plan and provide an alternative option to the planned trans loading of the containers at the Port. Instead of trans loading the containers in Savannah to 53’ dry vans, Dimerco suggested delivery of the machines by truck directly to the exhibition centre in Orlando, saving a vital 2 days.
Mr. William Kessler, Business Development Manager of Dimerco Express (U.S.A.) Corp. Atlanta Branch, explains. “Although, the cargo was delayed at sea because of the oversize height and width of the cargo, it could only be legally driven by day, Dimerco was able to organise and reschedule the transportation with our long-term trucking partner. By operating as a ‘control tower’, employing effective communication and working with our trusted strategic partners, quick thinking on the part of Dimerco saved the day.”
Dimerco also project managed the subsequent return of the cargo from the convention centre in Orlando to Tech-Long U.S.A. in Duluth, GA.
Project Cargo and Event Logistics are an important part of the award-winning logistics specialists’ portfolio of services. The company’s global network of offices with local teams at origin and destination, together with world leading technology, a wide service offering and key strategic partners worldwide, enables Dimerco to deliver customised services to meet highly specific transportation requirements with flexible, cost-effective solutions.

06/08--Dimerco Hosts 2018 Annual Shareholders' Meeting
First of all, I, on behalf of the Board of Directors, Chairman and management team of the Company, thank you for the long-term support and concern for Dimerco Express Group. Thank you very much for attending 2018 annual general shareholders meeting of Dimerco Express Corporation. Meanwhile, we sincerely hope that all of you can support and urge us continually to construct the advantages of brand, reinforce organization’s strength and value innovation. To follow the company objectives, the management and staff will certainly optimize the business performance and stabilize the growth of corporate performance, as well as achieve the annual budget target and shareholders’ expectations.
In 2017, Dimerco continued to develop the two major strategies of its business blueprint. So far, the Group’s global service networks have spread to over 150 business units. The strategies aim to provide multiple services that Dimerco Express (DIM) focuses on air freight services, while Diversified Freight System (DFS) focuses on sea freight services. In addition to take the advantage of dual-brand strategy, Dimerco Express Group also coordinates with diversified transportation services, comprehensive logistics and warehousing services, cargo insurance services, customs brokerage services for import, export and inspections, China domestic transportation, cross-border road freight in Asia, Central European cross-border railway and cross-border e-commerce. These customized services not only enhance our business capabilities, but also increase the brand value.
Since the financial storm in year-end 2008, global economy and currency exchange rate have become fluctuated. Therefore, it was very hard to forecast the world economic prospect. From the year 2017 of perspective, although the market condition in Q1 was close to the previous year, only a few of container shipping lines generated earnings. Nevertheless, 2017 was still identified as the best year for the logistics transportation industry in the most recent decade. Such consequences primarily resulted from the economy of the U.S.A. driving the global economic recovery, especially in Europe and Asia and thus causing various airlines and shipping companies to adopt the strategy focusing on control over cabins and raise in price.
Although Dimerco’s entire air tonnage and ocean volume grew from the previous year in 2017, the airlines and shipping companies raised the freight drastically to deal with the supply and demand in the market. Given this, we had to adjust our freight charged from customers step by step. As a result, our operating margin declined from last year (2016). Notwithstanding, since Q3, our freight raise policy has been integrated into the market step by step, and our operating margin increased accordingly. The turnover increased by 2.0% only in Q4 from the previous year, while the gross profit grew by 15.9% and operating margin increased from 12.0% to 13.6% compared with Q4 of the previous year. Therefore, the net operating profit grew by 32.8% remarkably compared with Q4 of the previous year, and it seemed that Dimerco would gain earnings permanently again as before.
In 2017, the Group’s consolidated operating revenue certified by the independent external auditor was NT$17.533 billion, increased by 8.5% compared with the previous year, and net profit after tax, NT$206 million, decreased by 23.6% from NT$270 million in last year (2016), after-tax earnings per share (EPS), NT$1.67, decreased by NT$0.53 from NT$2.2 in 2016. The broad of directors’ meeting passed a cash dividend of NT$1.19 per share.
Looking forward to 2018, despite the doubt about the trade war between China and the U.S.A., the global economic development is still expected to be booming as it was in 2017. Dimerco will continue active in North America, Europe, India, China and Southeast Asia business development and investment. Meanwhile, in accordance with the established policy of global operations and plans to "Greater China economic region as the mother market”, Dimerco will use organization force to integrate sales and customer service throughout the combat team to develop new business and continue to secure a number of multinational customers and cross-border services. The overall turnover will be able to become growing in the near future.
Dimerco is a leading international transportation and logistics firm that has been providing professional services for more than 40 years based on a corporate culture of strong ethics and customer commitment. Dimerco will adopt the business growth strategy focusing on supply of far-reaching international logistic services by means of channel globalization, product diversification, operation optimization, information centralization and operation localization, as well as applications of Internet and IoT and construction of tangible and virtual channels.
In order to optimize the operation management and provide service to global customers, Dimerco researched and developed the integrated e-commerce service platform and global real-time information system successfully in 2009, namely Dimerco Value Plus System®, and also upgraded the system implementing the latest Web 3.0 Cloud Networking in December 2017. The system’s Collaboration Service Platform is able to link up-stream and down-stream dealers and customers. It dedicated to provide customers with high-efficiency services anywhere and at any time based on the concept and function of virtual offices and smart mobile technology, e.g. eSAM and eCall Freight System®. Meanwhile, we help customers cut operating cost and upgrade efficiency via the POMS to successfully establish our ability to integrate tangible and intangible and also far-reaching mobile smart logistic services.
Dimerco entered the market in 1991 and has since steadily expanded our service network. So far, the Company has established 77 business units in China, even obtaining the “China Well-known Trademark” accolade awarded by the Trademark Office of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce of the People’s Republic of China. The achievements fulfilled by the Group since its incorporation and the Group’s future developments rely on all shareholders’ strong support. We remain committed to construct mechanisms for generations, and constantly improve the sound corporate governance structure, to bring reasonable returns to our shareholders! We hope to gain continued support. Thank you!

Dimerco Express Group managements, Mr. Kimber Lee, Corporate Ocean Freight Vice President and Ms. Vicky Wen, Corporate Marketing Director were recently invited to the interviews by Lloyd’s Loading List and The Loadstar, leading industry media in Europe, sharing Dimerco’s perspective on stiff competition ocean market*, online forwarder** and peak season of intra-Asia air market***. The articles have been posted on respective website in September, 2017.
Mr. Kimber Lee indicated that the new alliance system had seen a strong concentration of capacity on East-West lanes. However, on many Asian trades there was far more competition and some niche carriers had recently increased market share. For online forwarders, unlike Dimerco providing tailor-made industry solutions for diversified customers utilizing the latest technology to benefit worldwide customers, they could “only provide service for general cargo” and could not meet “the complicated requirements” of real world forwarding. And Ms. Vicky Wen shared that strong economic growth across ASEAN countries would propel growth in intra-Asian air cargo volumes along with fruitful experience of Dimerco’s Cross-Border eCommerce and Cross-Border Train Freight services.

06/14--Dimerco Takes a Dynamic Approach to Oversize Freight Project
Dimerco has demonstrated its flexibility and creative thinking to pull off a major freight project transporting over-sized cargo for a leading utility provider based in the Middle East.
Dimerco used its connections to minimize freight size and decrease the total cost of logistics to deliver shipments of pipe spools, destined for the Water Security Mega Reservoirs Project, achieving a cost saving on ocean freight around 9%.
The first step was sub-contracting with a packing company to solve the issue of boxing up pipe spools of differing sizes into 159 wooden cases with a total weight of 760,000kgs and size of 4,300cbm.
The cargo was then secured in the containers by a specialist lashing and tally company and delivered to the container yard. Having negotiated space guarantee with empty space supplement on 40’ Super Rack (SR) containers, which are larger and scarcer than 40’ Flat Rack (FR) containers, Dimerco split the cargo between 2 shipping lines with different targeted schedules in order to meet the customer’s budgets.
Once loaded, the vessels followed a route from South Korea to Middle East. At every stage, the carrier’s status and schedule had to be minutely monitored to ensure success for the end customer.
Executing this highly complex cargo project relied heavily on Dimerco’s expertise, long term-relationships with carriers and extensive planning to achieve the aim of fewer containers filled to maximum capacity by layering between 6 and 7 pipe spools in each of the packing cases.
All logistics were carefully mapped taking account of the location of the warehouses and terminals ensuring their close proximity to the trucking carriers.
The end result was the delivery of the project on time and within budget and a very happy customer. Commenting on its dynamic approach to the project, Mr. Eric Roh, Ocean Freight Director of Dimerco Express (Korea) Corp. said:
“Our mission is to achieve results for our customers using our professionalism, teamwork and flexibility to respond to and solve any arising issues. Our considerable experience in logistics planning enables us to make smart decisions such as opting for a container carrier rather than a bulk handling vessel; as the former has a more regular schedule and guarantees to deliver the consignment on time.
“As well as being keen negotiators and securing optimum freight costs, we were also able to make additional savings by selecting 40’ SR over 40’ FR. We always look to improve our services and are fully aware of the growth of the cross-border freight train route but know that for shipments to Middle East, the container ship option is still the best.”
Successfully handled one more significant project, Dimerco has again proved its vision to “be the most competitive global transportation & logistics service provider, integrator and consultant.”

05/25--Dimerco cross-border train freight project saves time and costs
In line with China’s aggressive “One Road, One Belt” initiative and Dimerco’s positioning as “Your China & ASEAN Logistics Specialist”, Dimerco has seen an increase in demand for its service product, Cross-Border Train Freight (CBTF). Dimerco’s CBTF service offers customers with routes that connect China with Europe, Central Asia, and Russia. With over 7 years of experience in cross-border train freight, Dimerco’s experienced team is ready to offer a safe and stable alternative to the traditional Air and Ocean transportation method.
The most recent example of this service was executed for a leading construction company in China. Dimerco has delivered substantial cost savings and halved transit times for a leading construction company in China. Using the Europe-China cross-border railway, Dimerco arranged for transportation of nine containers of high value furniture from Germany to Zhengzhou, then by road freight to the final destination in Beijing. The containers were only 14 days in transit, compared to the usual 30 days it takes to be shipped by ocean from Hamburg to Tianjin, while costs were reduced by an impressive 70% compared to air freight.
According to Ms. Lexi Zhang, Assistant Sales Manager of Dimerco Zhongjing International Express Co. Ltd., control of transit time and freight safety were key priorities for the project, with delivery of the cargo required within one month.
“We were required to adhere strictly to the agreed timescale for the project, which would obviously include time for customs clearance, so rail seemed the ideal solution,” she said. “In addition, we also factored in extra loading time and coordinated the balance and weight of each container to ensure safety of the high value freight.”
Ms. Zhang explained that Dimerco coordinated all elements of the journey, liaising closely with the railway company as well as trucking partners ensuring a smooth process and delivering on site earlier than planned in Beijing which exceeding the customer’s expectations. All issues that arose were swiftly and efficiently managed by Dimerco, while the customer was kept informed of the progress at every stage.
“We protected the space for the scheduled train by placing the booking with the carrier well in advance. In addition, we made sure the valuable cargo was protected by issuing cargo insurance. We monitored the customs process closely to avoid unnecessary delays. Resourceful problem solving was utilized when one of our containers was held up by customs in Poland due to an unrelated, wrongly declared container that shared the same chassis; we made sure that one container did not delay the remaining 8 containers.
This customer’s preferred method of shipping is usually air or ocean freight, but Dimerco suggested cross-border train freight for this project, which has proved to be a great success. Our customer is delighted and has committed to further ongoing shipments.”

Dimerco Express Group, ranked as Top 10 Asia Pacific 3PLs, has been operated Cross Border Road Freight (CBRF) successfully for more than a decade. Dimerco has always been able to provide contingency logistics plans for customers to quickly respond to risks and natural disasters. Take Thailand as an example, in 2008, political violence and prolonged demonstration in Bangkok, road blockage resulted in severe traffic congestion to/from major airports; in 2011, natural disaster in the form of massive flood covered many provinces, and severely affected seven major industrial estates in central region for 2 months—during each incident, Dimerco has been able to provide its semi-conductor clients with alternative contingency plans to resolve the problems, including road freight, sea freight, and provincial airports alternative route solutions, and providing assistance to transport machinery and materials from flooded factory to re-activate other plants and overcome the crisis efficiently.
"Thailand plays a crucial role on its connectivity in South East Asia region", said Mr. Jeffrey Shih, Vice President in South East Asia Region of Dimerco Express Group. Jeffrey also indicated that the location of Bangkok is more superior than Singapore, and even its operation function is acting as hub for air freight. In addition, Thailand is the second largest ASEAN economy, followed by Indonesia. Its market hinterland is much larger than Singapore. Another future opportunity is AEC (ASEAN Economic Community), free tax policy within AEC will bring benefits especially for logistics industry in Thailand.

11/09--Dimerco Transforms Fashion Logistics with New Business Model and IT Capability
Satisfying the enormous appetite for quality designer US apparel in China, the world’s biggest and fastest growing online market, Taiwan based freight forwarding and logistics specialist Dimerco is transforming fashion logistics to perfect the customer experience in preparation for the eCommerce shopping festival, Double 11.
Employing its innovative IT integration capability and forming solid relationships with reliable last-mile carriers, Dimerco is working with Revolve Clothing, a well-known Los Angeles based luxury clothing & accessories brand to enable online consumers in China and Hong Kong to enjoy a comprehensive shopping experience with faster, trackable delivery of their goods.
Dimerco leads the way in establishing a new B2B2C business model which offers a 30% saving in freight costs and relies on the close co-operation between online fashion retailer, freight forwarder (Dimerco) and local couriers.
As Mr. Edward Lin, Dimerco Express Group CEO explains: “eCommerce in China is growing at an incredible rate and we could see that fulfilment and customer satisfaction were key areas for improvement, particularly over the final mile. Online customers in China no matter where they are located, are beginning to demand the same service shopping experience as their global counterparts so we began to look at the entire logistics process from the location of our warehouses to making relationships with reliable carriers and of course, for customers, providing that single point of contact for queries, complaints and feedback.”
From its HK warehouse Dimerco provides a quick turnaround service with 800 packages a day processed in 2 hours before hand-over to local couriers. Harnessing the latest EDI technology, customers can easily track their deliveries online.
This fashion logistics model will put Dimerco’s client in a strong position for Double 11 which according to one of the largest online retailers in China, JD.com, typically witnesses a threefold increase in the number of shipments and sales of imported goods to keep pace with consumer demand.

11/04--Dimerco continues growth in China as new offices opening carry out its dual-brand strategy
Taiwan based freight forwarding and logistics specialist Dimerco has added to its growing footprint in China, with Diversified International Transportation (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. Guangzhou Branch and Dimerco Zhongjing Int'l Express Co., Ltd. Guangzhou Branch sales offices in Shunde along with sales offices in Taicang for its subsidiary Dimerco International Transportation (Shanghai) Co. to carry out its dual-brand strategy, which allows the company to enhance service quality and value.
According to Mr. Edward Lin, Dimerco Express Group CEO, the company is targeting sales growth in the area, particularly in ocean freight.“While we are already in a strong positon with our air freight service, we focus also on the ocean freight development and hub operation in Southern China, especially in Guangzhou, which has continuously increasing volume since the end of 2015. And due to high demand that most local freight forwarders are unable to meet, on the ocean freight market we have recognised the potential for cooperation between Taicang port and Yangshan port, which provides more efficient and cost-effective barge services compared with traditional transportation modes. Our new offices will enable us to better serve customers in the equipment, material applications and auto parts industries.”
The move comes at the same time as the announcement by the China Communication and Transportation Association (CCTA) of the Advanced Logistics Company Awards 2016, which once again features Dimerco. The awards ceremony was held on Oct.31 in Suining City, Sichuan Province, China.
Earlier this year, Dimerco subsidiaries were listed in the CIFA (China International Freight Forwarders Association) 100 Top China Forwarding & Logistics Enterprises as well as the 50 Top China Air Cargo Enterprises lists. In recognition of the company’s ten year track record, it was also presented with a prestigious ‘Steady Business Growth’ Award by CIFA.

10/31--Dimerco Wins New Business with Unprecedented Speed
Just two weeks after being invited to the initial bid, Taiwan-based logistics and freight-forwarding specialist Dimerco Express Group shipped 30 tons of oversized petrochemical pumps for one of the largest national oil companies in China, from Los Angeles in USA to Tianjin in China, via airfreight.
Dimerco’s District Sales Director of North China, Mr. Alexander King, who spearheaded the project to expedite the over-sized shipment by airfreight, stated:
“To manage the project complexity and meet our customer’s extremely tight deadline, we leveraged our local expertise, relationship with two selected airlines and local customs, network of contacts and innovative use of social media.”
The Dimerco team not only took the strategic decision to split the shipment into two routes into China, but also collaborated efficiently with selected carriers and contacts at Tianjin Customs, clearing the split shipments within 24 hours, while effectively maintaining real-time communication with both customer and Dimerco team members via a group chat social media channel, providing live updates from start to finish.
Mr. King concluded, “This recent success highlights that Dimerco’s strong proposition is landing well with customers as we continue to build an enviable reputation within the Oil and Gas sector in the region, particularly among customers that value tactical and service excellence. In the light of our handling of this project, Dimerco has been confirmed as preferred vendor by one of the top three national oil companies in China for handling urgent project shipments from North America to China.”

10/12--How to release your Hanjin operated containers in Singapore port terminal
FAQ on Handling of Hanjin-Operated Containers in Singapore
1. What is PSA (The Port of Singapore Authority) doing to manage this current situation?
Since September 2016, PSA has been working closely with Hanjin, shippers and consignees to facilitate the delivery of local import containers, as well as the loading and transfer of transhipment containers bound for other destinations.
To date, PSA Singapore has berthed and serviced more than a dozen Hanjin container ships, and facilitated the release of over 3,000 laden containers to affected parties.
PSA is also utilizing container yard space to store more than 3,500 empty containers that have been collected so far, and as such, acting as a container depot. No cost or resources have been spared in ensuring these boxes are consolidated at our yards in PSA Singapore Terminals 1 (ST1).
2. How can I move my containers to their final destinations once they are unloaded from Hanjin and alliance vessels into your port area?
Three methods are available to tranship containers to their final destination; you may wish to consider these options and follow up with Hanjin directly:
(1) Transloading – the Hanjin container is unstuffed and restuffed into another non-Hanjin box to be transported on to its final destination.* This may be undertaken at PSA’s Keppel Distripark, which is directly linked to PSA ST1; it is located within the Free Trade Zone, allowing exemption from the Goods and Services Tax. The shipper can choose from a wide range of operators in Keppel Distripark to carry out transloading of the container.
(2) Shipper-owned container – the shipper takes over the lease or sub-leases of the container from Hanjin and arranges with another shipping line to deliver the container to its final destination port. Handling charges (i.e. storage, discharging, etc.) will be paid to PSA by the shipper.
(3) Direct interchange – the shipper chooses to arrange with Hanjin for another shipping line to take over the lease of the container and transport it on to its final destination.
3. I have a Hanjin container for local import. How can I collect it?
The process for local import has been as follows: Hanjin containers are discharged from ships, and these are then stacked in PSA’s container yards. Once a refundable deposit has been paid (to ensure the return of empty containers for consolidation purposes), the container can then be transported out of the port area to be unstuffed for local import. The deposit will be refunded after the same but empty container is returned to PSA’s yards.
4. How much will it cost for me to collect my container for local import?
A refundable deposit of S$5,000 per container is required to be made to PSA Corporation Ltd, either in the form of a cashier’s order or via internet banking, before taking delivery from PSA of any such import Hanjin container. The Deposit will be refunded upon the return of the same, but empty, container (i.e. after un-stuffing) to PSA’s yard. The relevant consignee will also be required to pay PSA for discharging stevedorage.

The nomination recognized Dimerco as an outstanding leading 3PL provider in the logistics industry that continuously provides quality services to its customers throughout the Asia Pacific region.

Dimerco has been meticulously planning their expansion in India, with its long-term experiences in Greater China’s economic regions and ASEAN markets as a base. India latest GDP grew 7.9% in 2016Q1 compared with 2015Q1*, which is officially one of the world’s fastest growing economies**. Dimerco’s Ahmedabad office aligns with India Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s promises made in May two years ago after taking office, which is to revive India’s economy by improving businesses and turning it into an attractive global investment and a manufacturing nerve center. Ahmedabad is one of the hundred Indian cities selected to develop as a smart city under Modi's flagship Smart Cities Mission. Being the first Taiwan logistics provider to enter into India, the fourth new office in Ahmedabad demonstrates Dimerco’s fruitful success in fortifying its global network in its global expansion blueprint.
“India is a booming market for international commerce and has strong growth potential for years to come. We are expanding our sales and operation teams for trading and exporting to the U.S., especially for Telecommunications, High-Tech and Automotive industry customers in India” said Dimerco’s spokesperson. “This new service outlet marks another monumental page in Dimerco’s business history.”

06/08--Dimerco Hosts 2016 Annual Shareholders' Meeting
First of all, on behalf of the Board of Directors, Chairman and the company management team, thank you for your continued support and concern for the Dimerco Express Group. Thank you very much for attending the shareholders’ meeting. We sincerely hope that by taking this opportunity all of you can support, and assist us by continuing to construct brand advantages, strengthen organization and emphasize the value of innovation.. Dimerco staff will certainly make every effort to stabilize the growth of corporate performance, successfully complete the annual target budget, and meet shareholder’s expectations.
Dimerco has been continuously accelerating its global development plan. Currently, the company’s global network includes 17 countries covering Asia, North America, Europe, and Australia with more than 143 locations worldwide. The company has two brands. Dimerco focuses on air freight services, while Diversified Freight System (DFS) focuses on sea freight services. This dual-brand strategy allows the company to enhance service quality and value by providing increased support and customized services including transportation, logistics, cargo insurance, import/export customs and inspections, domestic China transportation, cross-border road freight in Asia, Central European cross-border railway and cross-border e-commerce.
In 2015, although the US market economy was still gradually recovering, the main markets such as China, due to structural adjustment, continued to be impacted by a slowdown in economic development and growth. The global economy, trade, and the fluctuations of currency exchange were becoming more unstable and unpredictable. International crude oil prices and fuel surcharges dropped 50% compared with the same period last year, and FCL freight has also simultaneously decreased. Although Dimerco’s air tonnage and ocean volume were close to the previous year, the growth of turnover was affected. Dimerco continued to optimize operations and with the powerful Information system operating margin increased from 13.95% to 15.07% compared with the same period last year. Since Dimerco continued to invest in human resources and strengthen the company's competitiveness, thus operating expenses increased by 5.28% compared with Y2014. Even though it caused a decline in profits compared with the previous year, however it also strengthened the foundation for future growth. Dimerco announced 2015 full year results with a consolidated turnover of NTD 15.549 Billion, a decrease of 8.4% compared with the prior year, after-tax net income also decreased 35.92% from NTD 214 Million to NTD 137 Million in 2015 and after-tax earnings per share (EPS) NTD1.08, decreased NTD 0.58 compared (EPS) 1.66 in 2014. The board of directors’ meeting passed a cash dividend of NTD 1.02 per share same as last year.
Looking forward to 2016, global economic growth concerns and obstacles are still prevalent. Dimerco will continue to actively develop business and invest in North America, Europe, India, China and Southeast Asia. . In accordance with the established policy of global operations and plans in the "Greater China economic region” as the mother market, Dimerco Express Group used organizational forces to integrate sales and customer service throughout the combat team to develop new business and continue to secure a number of multinational customers and cross-border services such as e-commence supplier Jing dong Mall and Alibaba.. The overall turnover will be able to continue to grow steadily in the near future.
In order to integrate the continuous line of international transportation and logistics services, Dimerco will develop a system called “eCall Freight System®” which can strengthen front end trucks calling, pick-up and delivery services.
By operating this program, Dimerco can unify both data stream and information flow with local logistics partners. Furthermore, Dimerco will create a substantial data base to improve the safety of cargo freight and maximize operational efficiency and quality of service.
Dimerco is a leading international transportation and logistics firm that has been providing professional services for more than 40 years based on a corporate culture of strong ethics and customer commitment. Dimerco will continue to expand its business with the concept of globalization, i.e. network globalization, product diversification and operation localization.
Through this continued innovation, the company was granted two patents (US and Taiwan) based on the Dimerco Value Plus System. The Value Plus 3.0 will be released the next half year of 2016:
1. Taiwan and US Patent: "Consolidation Yield Management System and Method©". This system specializes in optimizing operations, increasing the efficiency of integrating all transportation systems, strengthening cargo consolidation functions and achieving environmental standards by preventing resource waste. The system also helps to increase consolidated cargo yields and minimize cargo damage.
2. Taiwan and U.S. Patent: Data Synchronization Method. This method can effectively combine all data uploaded to a server system from all Dimerco branches worldwide and store the data in a central database. The corporation can then use a business intelligence tool with reporting features to provide accurate data reports requested by global customers in real time.
A leader in China, Dimerco entered the market in 1991 and has since steadily expanded our service network. As of 2015, the company has established offices at 70 locations in China, even obtaining the “China Well-known Trademark” accolade awarded by the Trademark Office of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce of the People’s Republic of China.
To successfully manage a global marketing service network and have the ability to manage information and data while providing B2B cross-border logistics services, Dimerco has taken a leadership position in tapping the wealth of data made available in the Internet era and through rapid developments in the Internet of Things (IoT). Utilizing Web 2.0 concepts, Dimerco developed the Dimerco Value Plus System, a service platform that combines international logistics management, sales, operations, finance and other services to provide a high-quality comprehensive solution for clients. The platform’s real-time centralized information system optimizes internal management and external integration capabilities to further enhance the value offered to customers' supply chain management.
The Dimerco Value Plus System has allowed the company to successfully compete with much larger service providers for business opportunities. Relying on the Internet and IoT to form an integrated strategic platform, Dimerco can provide global, diversified, and highly efficient international logistics services.
Thank you very much for the support of all shareholders, we remain committed to construct mechanisms for generations, and constantly improve the structure and sound management, to elevate the interests of our shareholders! We hope to gain continued support. Thank you!
