With the objective to strengthen its presence in the automobile aftermarket, Yusen Logistics (Taiwan) has acquired Taiwanese logistics major Uryi Logistics Solutions (Uryi LS).In Taiwan, sales of new cars is steady against the backdrop of increased demand for new car purchases due to the reduction and exemption of commodity tax for cars that began in 2016. Among these, imported vehicles continued to increase by more than 10 percent and accounted for about 40 percent of total sales of new vehicles. Hence, aftermarket demand is expected to increase due to increased sales of imported cars.
Headquartered in Taoyuan, Taipei City, Uyri LS handles automobile aftermarket service parts. They have approximately 18,500 m2 warehouse for auto aftermarket service parts operation in their headquarters area and provide custom-made services tailored to the needs of their customers, mainly European and American automobile company and auto parts manufacturers by using their proprietary WMS to manage in-warehouse operations such as the storage and storage of a wide range of aftermarket service parts to be provided to sales companies and repair companies in Taiwan.
