The Chinese corporation operates a fleet of Boeing 747-400Fs to destinations in China, the UK, Belgium and the USA, carrying more than 200,000 tonnes of cargo a year.
With the agreement, Unilode will supply and manage 1,000 digitised pallets in the first year, increasing stock to over 3,000 pallets during the initial five-year term.
Helen Chen, General Manager of Capacity Management of Hongyuan Group says: “Unilode's pooled pallet fleet will solve our previous ULD repositioning challenges and reduce our ULD-related costs. Digitalisation was also an important factor in our decision to select Unilode as Hongyuan's ULD management partner and we look forward to a successful long-term partnership that will support our company's rapid growth.”
Marc Groenewegen, Chief Commercial Officer of Unilode adds: “We are committed to supporting our new partner’s operations and facilitating its network and fleet expansion plans with ULD solutions that can flexibly be adapted to its needs.”
