"Part of the Tianyue Group since 1999, R&T is a trailblazer in the world of international logistics," writes Jannie Davel, SVP, Air Cargo, MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company in his LinkedIn post. "From multimodal transportation to warehousing, product packaging, distribution processing and information management – they do it all with innovation at their core."

"By joining forces with R&T, we're enhancing our logistics capabilities in Hong Kong and China, offering you top-notch service and reliability. As we embark on this collaboration, we anticipate the potential for growth, innovation, and strengthened connections."
MSC Air Cargo had, earlier this month, announced plans to strengthen its commercial capabilities and bolstering the presence of commercial teams worldwide, reaffirming commitment to meeting evolving client needs globally.
"We have decided to terminate our partnership with ECS effective February 15, 2024," Davel wrote in a LinkedIn post. "We express our sincere appreciation for their dedication and valuable contributions throughout our collaboration. Their commitment has played a crucial role in our journey, and we extend our gratitude for the growth experiences shared together."
MSC Air Cargo had teamed up with the ECS Group to serve as their GSA in North America, Europe and Mexico, responsible for local sales, marketing, and customer service in these regions.
