Catching Up With Logistics King

Caught up with Loi Pok Yen, the former CEO of CWT.

In 2004, his family acquired a majority stake in the warehouse operator, and Pok Yen took the helm. During his tenure, the EY Entrepreneur of the Year grew the company’s valuation more than tenfold, building it into one of the largest logistics companies listed on the SGX. Back in my analyst days, CWT was one of my top picks.

In 2017, HNA Group acquired CWT for S$1.4 billion, capping off an extraordinary run. Thanks for making warehousing sexy, Pok Yen!
