Singapore, 16 April 2025 — As global trade dynamics shift and manufacturers seek to diversify their supply chains, YCH Group, Asia’s leading integrated logistics and supply chain solutions provider, is stepping up efforts to position ASEAN as a central node in the global supply chain network.
Amid escalating US-China trade tensions and a growing trend toward protectionism, multinational corporations are increasingly looking to Southeast Asia to enhance supply chain resilience. In response, YCH Group is expanding its regional footprint through a strategic network of multimodal logistics assets, including the flagship Vietnam SuperPort™ — a transformative infrastructure project situated along the China-Vietnam railway corridor. With the first phase of the railway project set to commence by 2030, the SuperPort™ is poised to significantly enhance cross-border cargo movement and boost regional trade connectivity with China.
“Global companies are accelerating near-shoring strategies to reduce shipping costs and manage supply chain risks,” said Dr Yap Kwong Weng, CEO of Vietnam SuperPort™. “This makes sourcing and manufacturing in tariff-friendly regions like ASEAN more critical than ever. At YCH Group, we are continuing to build the logistics infrastructure that will enable that shift.”
Amid ongoing tariff pressures and geopolitical shifts, Southeast Asia continues to demonstrate resilience as a critical global trade and production hub. By investing in future-ready infrastructure and fostering deep regional integration, YCH Group is strengthening supply chain agility, enabling sustainable economic growth, and advancing ASEAN’s transformation into a formidable trade bloc.
