Shanghai Ace Investment & Development

What Shanghai Ace Investment & Development does

Shanghai Ace Investment & Development (上海雅仕投资发展股份有限公司) is a Shanghai-based, publicly listed supply chain services provider (SSE: 603329, IPO December 2017) operating a dual-core business model in supply chain logistics and supply chain execution trading. The company serves industrial clients in two narrow verticals: sulfur-phosphorus chemicals and non-ferrous metals. Its logistics offering is built on a nationwide network of owned and JV-controlled facilities at major Chinese ports (Lianyungang, Fangchenggang, Beihai), border crossings (Alashankou, Khorgos), and inland nodes, with multi-modal transport combining railway, highway, and waterway modes. Core technical capabilities include container door-to-door multi-modal transport and specialized dangerous goods transport (particularly liquid sulfur), supported by ISO9000 certification, Work Safety Standardization Level 3, and National First-Class Freight Forwarding qualifications. The asset-heavy model encompasses container yards, liquid sulfur storage tanks, dangerous goods fleets, and dedicated warehouses at key logistics nodes, with an Industrial Logistics Information Platform connecting ERP systems to internet platforms for integrated operations.

The company's revenue mechanics derive from two streams: logistics service fees (port agency, bonded warehousing, loading/unloading, multi-modal transport, storage, logistics supervision) and trading margins from execution trading in sulfur, fertilizers, non-ferrous metals, cassava, and developing coal volumes. As of 2016, the group comprised 7 wholly-owned enterprises and 6 holding joint ventures with over 1,000 direct employees, handling 10 million tons of annual logistics volume (including JVs) and exceeding 1.2 million tons of trade volume generating approximately 13 billion RMB in trade sales. Strategic JV partners include Lianyungang Port Group (40% in Jiangsu Xinwei Multimodal Transport), Hong Kong Xinjieqiao, Yuntianhua Group, and China Railway (in Yunnan Tianma), creating a locked-in ecosystem across port access, downstream offtake, and rail capacity. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales delivering customized full-process supply chain solutions to key accounts, with pricing negotiated per-project and not publicly disclosed. Operating geographies span China domestically, with trade sourcing from North America, the Middle East, Russia, Central Asia, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia.
