[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Global e-commerce platform Cafe24 and comprehensive logistics company Hanjin have joined forces to accelerate expansion into the global market.


Cafe24 announced on the 16th that it has signed a business agreement with Hanjin on the "activation of global e-commerce logistics."


The goal of both companies is to activate cross-border e-commerce targeting 7.5 billion consumers worldwide. To achieve this, they will actively cooperate on ▲developing and establishing a dedicated overseas express delivery service for Cafe24 ▲building and supporting the operation of domestic and international fulfillment centers ▲utilizing global local logistics infrastructure in the US, UK, Germany, China, etc. ▲operating overseas e-commerce support centers to respond to foreign consumers ▲strengthening SCM (Supply Chain Management) process systems.


In particular, both companies plan to actively use air routes for fast and accurate overseas logistics and delivery. To this end, Cafe24 will prioritize using Hanjin’s fulfillment center within the Incheon Airport complex logistics center ‘GDC’ located in Yeongjongdo, Incheon, starting early next year. Due to its geographical proximity to Incheon International Airport, overseas delivery speed is expected to improve significantly.


As a result, Cafe24 will be able to provide enhanced global logistics services to online businesses. Hanjin is expected to expand its e-commerce-based business area targeting 1.8 million Cafe24 clients. Going forward, both companies plan to continue close cooperation to provide various global logistics services necessary for online businesses seeking overseas expansion.


Jaeseok Lee, CEO of Cafe24, said, “Through cooperation with Hanjin, we expect to further enhance logistics competitiveness, which is one of the core elements of cross-border e-commerce,” adding, “We will continue to strengthen partnerships with leading companies in each field to promote the global expansion of online businesses.”



Meanwhile, Cafe24 officially launched the Facebook Shops service on the 8th to support the global expansion of online businesses. Through this, online businesses can create product display spaces on Facebook and Instagram to sell products to consumers worldwide.
