  • The Rhenus Group is acquiring BLU Logistics, a leading LATAM freight forwarder present in Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, Uruguay as well as in Greater China with more than 180,000 TEUs of ocean freight volume.
  • Additionally, Rhenus is securing a majority share of 51 percent in LBH Group, which operates in more than 30 countries worldwide, including six in the LATAM region, and has additional alliances in several Central American countries.
  • Combining the Blu and LBH teams will result in the Rhenus Group growing its LATAM workforce by 2,200 employees, reinforcing Rhenus dedication to the region by enhancing its local capabilities and contributing to its global expansion efforts.
  • These strategic actions aim to bolster Rhenus presence in LATAM to accelerate further growth in global trade and enhance its Asia-LATAM trade lane, nearshoring capabilities, and service options in light of the industry trend to diversify sourcing and supply chains.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 7 September 2023 – Rhenus, a leading global logistics specialist, is further expanding its existing presence in the Latin America (LATAM) market through strategic initiatives designed to enhance its service portfolio and capitalize on the region’s growing potential for globally connected supply chains. The company has announced its acquisition of Colombia-based BLU Logistics and a majority shareholding of LBH Group, bolstering its capabilities in the region and reinforcing its commitment to global supply chain connectivity.

Our strategic acquisitions allow us to further strengthen our global network and service portfolio in the LATAM region, where we see increasing demand for logistics services, especially for the e-commerce industry. In addition, the region’s proximity to the North American market fosters a robust environment for nearshoring, which aligns perfectly with our growth strategy. Together with BLU and LBH, we create a unique position with the value of a family-business for our customers and people by offering a strong footprint in key markets to secure more robust supply chains globally,” says Tobias Bartz, CEO and Chairman of the Rhenus Group.

A gateway through LATAM

The Rhenus Group has a strong foundation in LATAM, with established operations across Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico. Their recent acquisitions have paved the way for even broader geographical coverage including BLU Logistics’ additional presence in Uruguay, Paraguay, and Ecuador, as well as port agency services in Latin America, among others in Colombia, Brazil, Panama, Curacao and in several Central American countries from LBH. This expansion complements Rhenus leading position in the Asia-LATAM corridor, leveraging BLU’s robust trans-Pacific freight forwarding network. This strategic move not only allows Rhenus to expand its activities in the region seamlessly but enables BLU to extend its reach to European and Indian trade lanes, leading to significant growth in its existing customer offerings and cross-selling opportunities. David Kassin, previously associated with BLU Logistics, will assume the role of CEO for Rhenus Air & Ocean LATAM.

“This is a win-win-win for BLU Logistics, Rhenus, and above all, our customers. The global Rhenus network gives us the possibility to further explore other regions and to expand our client base to new segments and geographies, especially to India and the Middle East, as well as Southeast Asia, Europe, and North America,” says David Kassin, CEO of Rhenus Air & Ocean LATAM. “The synergy between BLU and Rhenus, driven by our shared commitment to customer-centricity, team cohesion, and entrepreneurial spirit, will propel us to even greater heights.”

A deepened relationship

The acquisition of a majority share in the LBH Group enables Rhenus to enter and cover the Latin American, Asian, Australian, and African markets as a globally oriented port agency with business sites in 24 countries worldwide as well as alliances in 7 additional countries. As part of the acquisition, the logistics specialist is taking over all the employees at the globally active maritime shipping agency, which includes processing incoming and outgoing vessels – regardless of whether they carry bulk goods, liquid cargo, containers, or general cargo. Rhenus is aiming to extend the takeover to include 100 percent of the shares during the next few years. Both parties have been cooperating in a relationship of trust for many years. “We’re looking forward to successfully pressing ahead to grow our business together, with our trusted partner Rhenus becoming a permanent feature in our future orientation,” says Bert Lagendijk, Managing Partner of the LBH Group. Together with his brother Jan Lagendijk, both co-founders of LBH will initially remain active on board to tap into future growth opportunities.

The transaction with BLU Logistics is subject to approval of the Colombian antitrust authorities.

ONE CENTRAL MACAU Celebrates the Year of Picasso with “Pablo Picasso: Paintings in Glass” as Part of the “Art Macao” Exhibition

The very first Macau showing of Picasso’s artworks in gemmaux

MACAU – Media OutReach – 7 September 2023 – As part of “Art Macao: Macao International Art Biennale 2023”, organised by the Macao SAR Government, One Central Macau proudly presents for the first time in Macau, “Pablo Picasso: Paintings in Glass” sponsored by Hongkong Land. Aligning with the objective of Art Macao, this show will contribute to arts and culture in Macau, establishing it further as a World Heritage city. The six artworks in this show are among fifty works, unique and signed, selected by Picasso himself between 1954 and 1957, among his most exemplary works to be interpreted in gemmail (French for ‘enamel gem’).

One Central Macau’s Picasso Gemmaux artwork to premiere in Macau

This exhibition is the very first Macau showing of Picasso’s artworks in gemmaux to be presented at the Atrium of One Central Macau with free admission from today until 31st October. This showcase offers a rare opportunity to appreciate many of Picasso’s most important artworks. As part of Art Macao’s theme, “The Statistics of Fortune”, this show features works that are reminiscent of the technique of stained glass seen in churches in aesthetics, yet they are back lit light boxes engineered by a workshop led by physicist Roger Malherbe-Navarre working on light diffraction in Paris in the mid 1950’s. At the time, the technique was extremely innovative. The layering of several panes of carefully assembled glass gave Picasso’s artworks the third dimensionality he sought to achieve in paintings. The technology of these backlit light boxes also gives a new life to the colours, as well as preserving them closer to the intention of the artist. Impressed by the gemmistes’ masterful assembling and fusing of carefully selected glass, Picasso declared ‘A new art is born!’

Intimate retrospective into life of renowned artistic genius

This exhibition features a special curation of six gemmaux artworks, representing many of Picasso’s closest and most influential ‘studies’ of life. Among them are ‘Femme assise’, an early portrait of Dora Maar, fellow artist and lover who led him to create the masterpiece Guernica, and the very first gemmail work Picasso signed. Another iconic work is the ‘Portrait of Marie-Therese Walter’, in which Picasso depicts the French model Marie-Therese Walter, who gave birth to his first daughter, and Mere et Enfant, in which Picasso’s wife Olga and his first son, Dora Maar, are depicted. The exclusive series also includes a striking self-portrait of the artist himself, executed in an emotionally expressive style. This year marks the 50th anniversary of Picasso’s death and the artworks on display are borrowed from private collections.

“We hold a deep appreciation for the role of arts in society and have dedicated ourselves to honouring cultural heritage. We envision ONE CENTRAL MACAU to serve as a canvas that connects art with the community. This Picasso exhibition is the latest initiative which aims to educate, engage and inspire the community in Macau, inviting people to revel in the beauty of diverse cultural expressions.” said Jennifer Lam, Director & Head of Marketing & Communications at Hongkong Land.

Sherry Wong, Chairperson of the Hongkong Land Art Committee, states, “Art Macao is the most important cultural and artistic event of Macau organised by the government and, we are enthusiastic in our participation. Hongkong Land is continually exploring opportunities to both advance and enhance artistic vibrancy by fully reflecting the trends and cultural life of the Macau community. We are especially pleased to present the exhibition “Pablo Picasso: Paintings in Glass”, offering an opportunity to both discover and fully appreciate the creativity and personality of one of our greatest and most popular artists.”

The unique display of original artworks is featured at the atrium of One Central Macau, with enlarged reproductions of each work displayed on the back of the painting, making it easy for the public to view the series of masterpieces from other locations in the atrium. Be inspired by “Pablo Picasso: Paintings in Glass” at One Central Macau.

Sunlight Real Estate Investment Trust (“Sunlight REIT”) Final Results for the Year Ended 30 June 2023

Renovate, Recover, Recycle

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 6 September 2023 – Henderson Sunlight Asset Management Limited (the “Manager“) announces the final results of Sunlight REIT for the year ended 30 June 2023 (the “Year“).

Sunlight REIT K&V_resized.jpg

While the Hong Kong economy staged a rebound in the second half of the Year, the performance of Sunlight REIT was somewhat marred by a cyclical downswing of the commercial property market, notably the office sector. Consequently, net property income (“NPI”) exhibited a mild 2.8% year-on-year decrease to HK$624.0 million. Given a steep increase in interest rates which resulted in a significant surge in interest expense, annual distributable income for the Year was down 11.8% year on year to HK$380.3 million.

The Board has resolved to declare a final distribution of HK 11.0 cents per unit. Coupled with an interim distribution of HK 11.0 cents per unit, total distribution per unit for the Year would amount to HK 22.0 cents, representing a payout ratio of 97.9% versus 97.4% in the preceding year, while the distribution yield was 7.6% based on the closing price of HK$2.88 on the last trading day of the Year.

With a maiden contribution from the acquisition of West 9 Zone Kids completed in April 2023, the appraised value of Sunlight REIT’s property portfolio increased to HK$18,512.2 million at 30 June 2023. Its net asset value was HK$13,669.2 million at 30 June 2023, or HK$8.06 per unit.

Operating Highlights

At 30 June 2023, the overall portfolio of Sunlight REIT registered an occupancy rate of 93.3% (30 June 2022: 94.7%), with an average rental reversion of negative 2.3%. The average passing rents of the office and retail portfolios were HK$34.6 per sq. ft. and HK$65.6 per sq. ft. respectively, down 1.4% and 3.0% as compared to a year ago.

Against the unfavourable office market dynamics, NPI of Dah Sing Financial Centre for the Year was down 4.5% to HK$170.5 million, while its occupancy rate exhibited a mild rebound from six months ago to 90.4% at 30 June 2023.

In respect of the retail portfolio, NPI of Sheung Shui Centre Shopping Arcade recorded a 3.0% year-on-year decline to HK$135.4 million. Its occupancy rate achieved a nice rebound to 97.6% at 30 June 2023, principally driven by a spate of quality tenants re-establishing their presence in this well-located retail property. Meanwhile, NPI of Metro City Phase I Property registered a 7.9% year-on-year decline to HK$124.7 million, while its occupancy rate recorded a drop to 92.2% at 30 June 2023.

During the Year, the Manager has further sharpened its focus on sustainability and continued to manage the portfolio with a more holistic and greener approach. In particular, Sunlight REIT attained a two-star rating in its first attempt at the 2022 GRESB Real Estate Assessment, while about 70% of its total borrowings at 30 June 2023 were sustainability-linked loans.

Mr. Au Siu Kee, Alexander, Chairman of the Manager said, “In view of the fluidity of the macro environment, prudence remains the strategic priority. Specifically, our effort to ensure a strong financial footing for Sunlight REIT should help it sail through the prevailing tight credit conditions. Better still, we have been able to marshal resources to expand and strengthen the retail portfolio of Sunlight REIT, rendering it greater potential to benefit from a consumption recovery.”
