SHIPPER SUPPLIER

Singapore, a global trading and logistics hub, is home to numerous companies that operate as both product suppliers and shippers. These companies can generally be classified as either factories (manufacturers), traders, or a combination of both. Additionally, there are companies that specialize in supplying shipping and logistics services.

Here are examples of companies in Singapore that are product suppliers and also engage in shipping their goods:

Nature of Business: A global technology, defense, and engineering group, manufacturing a diverse range of products including aerospace components, electronics, land systems, and marine solutions. They ship their manufactured goods globally.

Classification: Factory

Nature of Business: A leading agribusiness group in Asia, involved in the cultivation of oil palm, oilseed crushing, edible oils refining, sugar milling and refining, specialty fats, oleochemicals, biodiesel, and fertilizers. They process and trade a wide array of agricultural commodities, which they then ship internationally.

Classification: Factory and Trader

Nature of Business: A global food and agribusiness company operating across the value chain, from farming to processing, sourcing, and trading of various agricultural products such as grains, edible oils, rice, and cotton. They are significant shippers of these commodities.

Classification: Factory

There are also many smaller and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Singapore operating as manufacturers (factories) or trading companies (traders) across various sectors, which similarly ship their products globally.

Separately, companies that supply shipping and logistics services (often referred to as freight forwarders or logistics providers) are crucial enablers for other businesses to ship their goods. These service providers manage the transportation, warehousing, and customs processes for their clients. Examples include global players like DHL, FedEx, DB Schenker, Kuehne+Nagel, and various shipping lines and port operators like PSA International. These are classified as Service Providers rather than factories or traders, as their primary business is facilitating the movement of goods for others.
