FAST Group Champions Domestic Logistics, Selling and Distribution Capabilities at China-ASEAN Trade Expo 

FAST Logistics Group, the Philippines’ leading provider of end-to-end logistics and selling and distribution solutions, showcased its nationwide supply chain capabilities and how it can support Chinese companies and businesses seeking to enter or expand in the country at the China-ASEAN Expo or CAEXPO. 

Held from September 17 to 21 at the Nanning International Convention and Exhibition Center in Guangxi, the China-ASEAN Expo brought together government officials, business executives, investors, and international buyers.  

The Philippine delegation to CAEXPO 2026 comprised about 300 participants, including 73 high-value export enterprises. Participating companies came from various sectors, including agrifood, lifestyle, home and fashion, personal care and allied services, tourism, banking, and pharmaceuticals. 

During the expo, FAST connected with Chinese business owners, exporters, manufacturers, and potential investors looking to establish or expand their presence in the Philippine market.  

The discussions highlighted a critical consideration for companies entering the Philippines: having access to reliable local logistics, as well as selling and distribution, are essential to market expansion and sustainable business growth. 

Helping Businesses Grow with End-to-End Logistics 

For international companies entering the Philippines, navigating the country’s geography can present a significant supply chain challenge. With 7,641 islands and markets spread across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, businesses need a partner with the infrastructure, network, and deep local knowledge to move products efficiently up to retailers and consumers. 

FAST provides this nationwide reach through an integrated network covering 94% of the country’s provinces. With over 50 years of industry leadership and more than 13,000 employees, the company combines 3PL services or contract logistics, multi-modal transportation (land freight, RoRo shipping, sea freight, and air freight), warehousing, cold chain, cross-docking, and toll manufacturing or value-added services. 

Its logistics capabilities are complemented by massive infrastructure:  

• More than 2 million square meters of warehouse space and over 1 million pallet positions spread across 180 hubs in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao 
• Over 3,100 truck types of all sizes, composed of in-house fleet and more than 900 transport partners 

This infrastructure, the most extensive in the Philippines, enables FAST to provide businesses with an integrated path from importation and inbound logistics to storage, order fulfillment, and nationwide distribution. 

Building Stronger Market Reach in Small Retail Format Through Selling and Distribution 

FAST also operates the country’s widest selling and distribution network, helping big brands reach small retail formats and more customers across more remote markets.  

Its selling and distribution operations connect manufacturers and brand owners with retailers, supermarkets, restaurants, eateries, sari-sari stores, and other retail formats across the archipelago. 

FAST also combines its physical distribution network with technology-enabled selling and distribution solutions. Its Sales Force Automation (SFA) platform provides sales teams with real-time data and analytics, GPS-enabled monitoring, and tools for managing customer and store information.  

The platform was developed with the geographic and operating realities of Philippine businesses in mind. 

This combination of people, infrastructure, technology, and local market expertise allows FAST to support brands not only in moving products, but also in expanding their presence and improving their reach in the Philippine market.
