FAST Strengthens MSME Reach Through Cost-Effective, Reliable Logistics

As a key partner of the trade fair, FAST provided crucial support by handling product consolidation and transport for participating exhibitors. Through FAST’s Full Service Outlet in Legazpi, MSMEs were able to drop off their products, which were then picked up, transported, and delivered safely and efficiently to the trade fair venue.

Through FAST’s hub-to-door logistics solutions, MSMEs from Bicol can simply drop off their products at FAST Full Service Outlets in Legazpi, Naga, and Sorsogon.

This allowed local entrepreneurs to focus fully on showcasing their products without worrying about the complexities of logistics handling, product safety, or transport delays.

“Our partnership with Bicol MSMEs is built on mutual trust and a shared commitment to elevate local enterprises,” said FAST CEO for Logistics Manuel L. Onrejas Jr.

“We believe that by working closely with our entrepreneurs, including those from Albay, we can open more doors for growth and strengthen the region’s presence in the national market through cost-efficient, reliable logistics,” he added.

FAST Logistics Group is the pioneer of end-to-end trade fair logistics support for MSMEs. This service involves product pickup and transport to permit processing and on-site delivery, enabling entrepreneurs to participate in trade fairs seamlessly and focus on connecting with buyers.

Strong Collaboration for Bicolano Enterprises

This year marks the fourth time that FAST Logistics has provided end-to-end trade fair logistics support for Bicol MSMEs. The company previously extended logistics assistance during Orgullo Kan Bicol Trade Fairs held at Shangri-La Manila, Okada Manila, and Festival Mall Alabang.
