APT Showfreight & Logistics Group

What APT Showfreight & Logistics Group does

APT Showfreight & Logistics Group is a Singapore-headquartered freight forwarding and logistics services company incorporated in 2008, specializing in MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) logistics and project transport logistics across the Asia-Pacific region. The firm serves exhibition organizers, exhibitors, and event managers with end-to-end services spanning pre-event logistics advisory, multimodal freight forwarding (air, sea, land), customs documentation and clearance, government permits and licenses, temporary import and re-export handling, on-site booth delivery, rigging and installation, packing and storage, and post-event logistics. A secondary service line — Project Transport and Logistics — addresses manufacturing, oil and gas, and industrial clients requiring machinery relocation, factory installation, and equipment marshalling in Asia.

The firm operates through wholly-owned subsidiaries in Hong Kong SAR (APT Showfreight Limited), China (APT Showfreight Shanghai Co., Ltd with branches in Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu, Chongqing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Xiamen), Thailand (APT Showfreight (Thailand) Limited including a 2,500 sqm bonded warehouse in Bangkok), Vietnam (APT Showfreight Vietnam Co., Ltd with offices in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City), and Pakistan (APT Showfreight Pakistan (Pvt) Ltd in Karachi). It holds official freight forwarder status with IAAPA Expo Asia since 2010, in-house on-site logistics provider roles at the Bangkok International Trade Exhibition Centre (BITEC) bonded warehouse and Zhuhai International Convention and Exhibition Center, and industry memberships with AFECA, SACEOS, SLA, FTA, TEA, and the Global Logistics Agent Network. Recognized customers include Hall-Erickson, IAAPA Asia Pacific, Singapore Yacht Show, ST Engineering, AONIA, Milipol Asia-Pacific, FLIR Systems, Sho-Air International, RTH Plc, and Valverde Netherlands, spanning aerospace, defense, consumer goods, manufacturing, automotive, medical/healthcare, and marine verticals. Group CEO Liu Zhichao (Ringo Lau, 刘志超) leads the firm, which has 101-250 employees.

Commercially, APT runs a sales-led, event-driven go-to-market: enterprise field sales with direct engagement through website enquiry forms and recurring-relationship contracts with exhibition organizers and venue operators. Pricing is quote-based, determined by cargo type, volume, transport mode, and destination rather than published rate cards or SaaS subscriptions. The firm does not disclose revenue, has not raised institutional funding, and does not advertise a proprietary technology platform — its competitive position is built on physical-office distribution, MICE domain specialization, customs expertise across six jurisdictions, and embedded venue partnerships rather than digital differentiation.

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Messe Logistic GmbH (Messe Frankfurt subsidiary): In-house exhibition logistics arm of one of the world's largest trade fair organizers. Highly comparable to APT's exhibition-only focus, though with strong captive demand from Messe Frankfurt events and primarily European venue footprint.
• Expo Log Group: European-headquartered freight forwarder specializing exclusively in exhibition, trade fair, and event logistics. Most comparable to APT in business model (exhibition-only focus) and scope (pre-event, on-site, post-event logistics), though primarily serving European venues rather than Asia-Pacific.
• R.E. Rogers (Canada) / ExpoLogixx: Long-standing North American exhibition freight forwarder specializing in trade show logistics with on-site services. Comparable niche focus on MICE freight, though primarily serving US and Canadian venues rather than Asia.
• PVS Logistics (Italy): Italian-based freight forwarder with strong exhibition logistics practice for trade fairs and events. Comparable service offering to APT (pre-event, on-site, customs) but focused on European shows.

Broad incumbents

• Concept Group (now part of CEVA Logistics): Originally a specialist exhibition logistics firm now integrated into CEVA Logistics. Comparable trade show freight forwarding capabilities to APT, with broader supply chain solutions through its parent and a global footprint.
• DB Schenker (Event Logistics): Global logistics provider with a dedicated Fairs & Events division offering trade fair freight forwarding, customs clearance, and on-site services. Competes with APT for major exhibitions and brings a broader portfolio (land, air, ocean, contract logistics) but is a much larger generalist.
• Agility Logistics (Exhibition & Events): Global logistics provider with event and exhibition freight capabilities across Middle East, Asia, and Africa. Direct overlap with APT in Asia exhibition logistics but with broader supply chain services and stronger emerging-market footprint.
• Kuehne+Nagel (Event Logistics): Global top-3 freight forwarder with a dedicated Event Logistics practice offering similar trade fair freight, on-site handling, and customs services. Significantly larger than APT and able to serve exhibitors across all major global venues, but typically less specialized in Asia-Pacific MICE specifically.
• DHL Trade Fairs & Events (DHL Global Forwarding): DHL's dedicated division for exhibition and trade fair freight forwarding. Directly competes with APT for major international MICE events but operates as part of a global integrator with broader ocean/air freight, customs, and warehousing capabilities, and a far larger worldwide office network.
• DSV Event Logistics (DSV Solutions): DSV's dedicated event and exhibition logistics division offering trade fair freight, customs, and on-site handling across its global network. Competes with APT at international exhibitions and brings the resources of a top-3 global forwarder.
