The inaugural annual meeting of The Cooperative Logistics Network (The COOP), in mid-May saw 141 delegates from 47 countries gather in Bangkok for three days of meetings and networking. “Considering what other networks have managed at their initial conferences, this number is a great achievement,” said Antonio Torres, the key driver behind this freight forwarding network.
The COOP is part of a new generation of networks which are empowering and mobilizing independent freight forwarders to work together as global ‘mega-forwarders.’ “At the heart of The COOP is mutual cooperation,” explained Torres. “Without it, the network simply would not function.”
