SEKO opens new Shanghai warehouse. SEKO Logistics (SEKO), the leader in end-to-end global logistics, has officially opened its new warehouse in Shanghai's Waigaoqiao area. The occasion was marked by an opening ceremony attended by representatives of the customer, the Waigaoqiao Administrative Committee and local industry partners. The new site deepens SEKO's contract logistics footprint in one of China's most important trade gateways and strengthens the company's ability to support manufacturers operating in and out of the region. Developed in partnership with a leading connectivity solutions company operating in the Waigaoqiao bonded area, the 8,300-square-meter bonded facility brings raw materials and finished goods operations together under one roof. It provides the customer with a dedicated, scalable logistics platform designed around inventory control, operational visibility and responsiveness to production demand. Separate areas for receiving, storage, packing, staging and shipping, plus a temperature- and humidity-controlled zone. The Waigaoqiao facility adds to SEKO's growing presence across Greater China, where a network of nine offices connects customers to the company's worldwide air, ocean, customs, compliance and fulfillment capabilities. Shanghai serves as one of SEKO's primary logistics hubs in the region. For SEKO, the opening reflects a broader strategy of investing in capacity where its customers' supply chains are concentrated, pairing on-the-ground expertise in China with the reach of its global network. Frank Achouch, Vice President Commercial, SEKO APAC and Managing Director, Seko Greater China: "Shanghai is a critical gateway for our customers' supply chains, and the new Waigaoqiao warehouse gives us a stronger platform from which to support their growth. It combines local execution with SEKO's global logistics capabilities while reflecting the trust and shared commitment that underpin this important customer partnership." With dedicated local operations and customer service teams, supported by SEKO China's wider functional expertise, the new site strengthens SEKO's ability to combine warehousing and inventory management with freight forwarding and customs services for customers in Shanghai and the surrounding region. This integrated approach gives customers access to a single logistics partner across warehousing, transportation and international trade requirements. Working as one project team, SEKO and the customer took the warehouse from contract award to full operation in around two months. Finished goods and raw materials were transitioned through carefully staged phases designed to support operational continuity. Lucia Fu, Vice President of Commercial and Operations, China at SEKO Logistics: "The successful go-live reflects the close coordination and disciplined execution of the customer and SEKO teams. Together, we have created a scalable operational foundation that can continue to evolve through greater visibility, system integration and automation." The facility has been designed as an evolving operational platform. The continuous improvement roadmap includes dashboard development, improved accessibility, very narrow aisle storage, electronic data interchange, RFID and additional value-added services. Future concepts under evaluation include autonomous mobile robots, forklift mobile robots and an automated pallet packaging line. These initiatives are intended to improve process visibility, storage efficiency, system integration and operational standardization as requirements evolve. Final configurations and implementation schedules remain subject to the project roadmap.
Seko commercial chief Brian Bourke departs after 14 years. 4 September 2026 Seko Logistics global chief commercial officer Brian Bourke is leaving the company after more than 14 years, and is set to launch his own consultancy. Mr Bourke announced that today would be his final day at the US-headquartered forwarder, describing the decision to leave as a difficult one. "It has been quite a ride," he said. "With all of the ups and downs, and Covid in between, The Loadstar had grown a lot as an organisation and The Loadstar truly did become a global logistics company, the focus of my return back in 2012. "This has been a difficult decision, but it is time." Mr Bourke said his next move would be to "put up my own shingle", providing sales, marketing, and compliance consulting to brands and companies. He has been global chief commercial officer since October 2022, with responsibility for Seko's global strategic growth, sales performance and productivity, global account management, pricing and tender management, marketing, and communications. His association with Seko goes back considerably further. He joined the company in 2005 as marketing manager, before moving to Geodis Freight Forwarding in 2009 as marketing and communications manager for the Americas. He returned to Seko in 2012 as VP marketing and was promoted to the newly created position of chief growth officer in January 2020, tasked with accelerating organic growth, demand generation, and revenue management. At the time, Seko president and CEO James Gagne described Mr Bourke as "a proven and respected member of our executive team", charged with helping drive the company's growth to the next level. Mr Bourke subsequently moved into the global CCO role in 2022. Alongside his new consultancy work, Mr Bourke said he would continue volunteering with humanitarian organisations Airlink and Project CURE. He has not yet disclosed the name of his new business or further details of his plans, saying only: "As for my next chapter, more to come!" The Loadstar team would like to wish Mr Bourke every success in his 'next chapter' - and thank him for the many interviews, insights, and good humour he has shared with The Loadstar over the years. He has always been a pleasure to work with. This article is (C) The Loadstar. Reproduction, rewriting, or derivative use requires a license. Contact [email protected] for licensing enquiries.

Developed in strategic partnership with Go Shipping - SEKO's exclusive regional partner in Greece - the service offers direct weekly LCL services from China, while cargo from other key Asian sourcing markets is consolidated through SEKO's regional hub in Singapore before sailing to Greece. The new route addresses growing demand among regional and global shippers for flexible, part-load ocean solutions that avoid the cost and volume commitments of full container loads (FCL), while maintaining high reliability and end-to-end visibility. "Greece, Cyprus and the Balkan region have traditionally been challenging markets for LCL shipments, often requiring multiple service providers and fragmented logistics solutions. By combining our direct services from China, our regional consolidation hub in Singapore and Go Shipping's strong local expertise, we've created a single, integrated solution that gives customers reliable access to the region through one point of contact," said Fabiano Duarte, Vice President, Ocean Freight at SEKO APAC. Connecting broader Asia to southern europe. The service combines direct LCL services from China with SEKO's regional consolidation hub in Singapore, extending origin coverage across Southeast Asia, Oceania and the Indian Subcontinent through a structured origin-to-destination network. * Regional Consolidation Hub: Cargo from Southeast Asia, Oceania and the Indian Subcontinent is consolidated through SEKO's Singapore gateway, maximizing space utilization and rate efficiency before weekly sailings to Greece. * Weekly Fixed Sailings: Scheduled departures from Singapore to Piraeus support predictable inventory planning and replenishment cycles for importers. * Specialized Cargo Handling: The LCL service supports a broad range of IMO dangerous goods, excluding Class 1 and Class 7. * Destination Access Across Cyprus and the Balkans: Upon arrival in Piraeus, Go Shipping coordinates destination handling, customs support, and onward distribution throughout Greece, Cyprus and the wider Balkan region. End-to-End visibility and control. Shippers utilizing the new Asia-Greece & Balkans LCL service gain full operational visibility from origin pickup to final-mile delivery through SEKO's proprietary MySEKO customer portal.

SCHAUMBURG, Ill.-(BUSINESS WIRE)-SEKO Logistics (SEKO), the leader in end-to-end global logistics, is building on a sustained run of U.S. network investment with new and expanded facilities across the Midwest and Texas.

However, with disruption comes opportunity, which is why we're investing through it," said Gordon Branov, CEO at SEKO. "Customers need capacity where their freight moves, and a partner that's adding room to grow, not pulling back. That's what this buildout delivers."

SEKO continues to expand that footprint to serve local shippers in these markets while connecting them to its national and global accounts. "North America is central to how SEKO serves customers around the world, and a stronger U.S. operation makes the entire network more capable," said Ian Oliver, President, North America Operations at SEKO. "With these investments, SEKO is better positioned to serve its local, national and global customers alike - delivering the reliability and service they expect from a global logistics partner as their supply chains evolve."

Elk Grove Village, Illinois. SEKO Elk Grove Village, a 103,000-square-foot facility just minutes from ORD, serves as the Midwest and centralized U.S. hub for DTC brands looking for a single node with easy access to carrier networks from Chicago. Cincinnati, Ohio. SEKO Cincinnati extends its reach into one of the nation's most efficient distribution markets - within a one-day drive of the majority of the U.S. population - and offers multimodal connectivity via highway, rail, the Ohio River and global air cargo through Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG). The 350,000-square-foot facility offers full air, ocean, ground and customs brokerage services alongside white glove handling, with expertise in high tech, medical and aerospace logistics. Texas and the Southwest: New gateways for domestic and international freight SEKO is expanding its network into two strategically positioned markets in Texas, a state that has ranked as the nation's top exporter for 24 consecutive years, shipping a wide range of goods from energy products to electronics. These facilities enhance capacity for international gateway operations, white glove services and specialized, time-critical freight across two of the country's most active trade corridors. Houston, Texas. SEKO's new Houston footprint includes a 35,000-square-foot built-to-scale facility positioned near George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH), a critical gateway for both international trade and domestic distribution across the greater Houston market - the fourth most populous U.S. city, anchoring a metropolitan area larger than several U.S. states and home to the Port of Houston, the largest port in the country. The station offers full domestic and international operations with comprehensive IAH coverage, local cartage and white glove solutions for high-value and specialized freight. El Paso, Texas.
