Speaking at a media
luncheon here yesterday, Hood said the company is currently in talks with
Perbadanan Usahawan Nasional Bhd (PUNB) on products that PUNB and its
beneficiaries would be able to use.
"We are currently compiling data and analysing them, in regard to PUNB's requirement, and hope that the collaboration will begin by May," he said.
This year, Hood said, Kontena Nasional expects its haulage and subsidiaries' businesses to maintain a contribution of about RM80 million to RM90 million to the group's revenue.
On redevelopment and rebranding, he said the company aims to get more involved with retailers to help make its brand a household name.
Kontena Nasional's regional expansion would help strengthen Malaysia's quest to become a regional logistics hub, be it in the halal logistics or conventional business, he added
Currently, it has an extensive fleet of 500 prime movers, 2,400 trailers, 17 branches, 19 warehouses and a workforce of 1,500 employees.
