Revenue model

1. Transport and Freight Services: Logwin earns revenue through air freight, sea freight, project logistics, air charter, China Rail, and ship parts logistics services. Transport fees are charged per shipment, route, and service level. The company handles complex multi-modal flows (sea-air combinations, just-in-time deliveries) for customers across industrial and retail sectors.
2. Contract Logistics and Warehousing: Revenue generated from warehousing, value-added services, e-fulfillment, and transport management services. Logwin manages supply chains for major retail chains (e.g., 20,000+ containers per year for an Australian retail chain) and provides customs clearance, intermediate storage, and onward land transport.
3. Acquisition-Driven Expansion: Logwin leverages its strong financial position to expand revenue through acquisitions, including Infranordic Shipping & Forwarding AB (Sweden), Hanse Service Group (Germany), and Worldpack Express Group (Spain), as well as organic branch openings in Europe, India, and Indonesia.
