Welcome back to the North Bund and embark on a new journey
CIMC Logistics, a holding subsidiary of China International Marine Containers (Group) Co., Ltd., is responsible for the logistics business segment of the group. CIMC Logistics takes China's "equipment + technology" as its core, provides global customers with "end-to-end" multimodal logistics solutions, continuously explores efficient, low-carbon, and visual "end-to-end" logistics services, and creates an integrated product matrix of multimodal transportation by river, sea, land, rail, and air.
In order to guide key enterprises to return to Hongkou in an orderly manner, Hongkou has formulated the "Three-year Action Plan for Key Enterprises to Return to Hongkou" and launched eight measures, including talent, medical treatment, children's education, and whole-process and whole-cycle services, to attract key enterprises to take root in Hongkou. Helping enterprises go back to Hongkou is the strength and determination of the Hongkou District Committee and the Hongkou District Government to optimize the business environment, and it is also a strategic need for the enterprises’ development.
To deepen the logistics industry layout in Shanghai, enhance the scale of multimodal transportation business, increase the efforts of digital intelligent applications and multimodal transportation products, and create a leading multimodal transportation enterprise with "equipment + technology" as the core in China, the group has decided to settle the Shanghai headquarters at the North Bund to embark on a new journey.
In the eyes of Hu Pengfei, President of CIMC Logistics, the long-standing shipping culture, high-quality business environment, and platform carrier of the North Bund are all reasons why CIMC Logistics chooses it as its office space. During the process of relocation, Hu deeply felt the high-quality and efficient service and the enthusiastic and positive service attitude of Hongkou. "Shipping enterprises gather here and shipping elements are concentrated. We believe that with a series of service measures taken by the district government and a sound service system within the district as support, enterprises will keep pace with the great development of the shipping industry in Hongkou," Hu said.
Continuously signing contracts, further enhancing the regional innovation concentration
The increasingly powerful potential effect, radiation effect, and magnetic attraction effect of the North Bund of Shanghai and the Golden Triangle of Huangpu River are underway. The event ceremony also held a "monthly signing" activity, and another batch of new projects were signed and implemented in Hongkou, including innovative projects in the three leading industries and six pillar industries in Shanghai.

Hongkou's innovative genes are constantly emerging. Currently, Hongkou is making efforts towards strengthening high-end service trade and enhancing regional innovation concentration. In addition to consolidating the two pillar industries of finance and shipping, Hongkou will make breakthroughs in new areas of professional, green, and digital service trade, creating a gathering area for high-end global service providers, a carbon trading pricing center with global influence, and a service highland of trade strengthened by digital service.
Recently, the "Digital Intelligence Integration" quality management model under CIMC Logistics has won the District Governor Quality Award of Hongkou District in 2022, and CIMC Logistics' Shanghai headquarters has settled at the North Bund. "This will not only provide stronger support for enterprises to explore the market, develop and grow, but also add new impetus to the construction of an international shipping service highland and a clustering area for technological innovation headquarters at the North Bund", said Chen Shuai.
