Managing the Complexities of Supply Chain - CHINAnUSA.com Total Trading Solution

Fremont, California, September 18, 2000 - One of the hottest topics in B2B industry nowadays is how big a pie it is. Forrester predicts that e-commerce sales will reach $1.6 trillion in the Asia-Pacific by 2004. The growth rate is exponential. The potential profit is alluring. There is no doubt that the market is hot and waiting to be capitalized. But will brick-and-mortar companies be able to cash in on the market?

The answer is obviously "No," expressed Mr. Jerry Shih, President of CHINAnUSA.com and its parent company, AMAX Engineering Corporation, "Traditional business executions require layers of intermediaries in the supply chain, incur too much paperwork back and forth that takes up considerable time and labor, and not to mention that substantial mark-up may discourage sales."

CHINAnUSA.com understands all these barriers to trade, especially cross-border trade, because AMAX Engineering Corporation has had over twenty years of experience in computer components distribution and system integration, with focused markets on the Greater China and USA. With headquarters based in Silicon Valley, the company has a close perspective on how Internet technologies meet the demands of trade.

The advent of e-commerce enlightens Mr. Jerry Shih to start CHINAnUSA.com whose business philosophy is based on providing total trading solutions to tackle unnecessary complexities of traditional trade, thereby directly bringing together buyers and suppliers. The trading solutions utilize Internet advantages to strengthen existing professional manual services. From sourcing through shipping, the company strives to consolidate all the procedures within the supply chain for clients to efficiently and productively conduct trade.

As Mr. Jerry Shih often emphasizes: "Our bottom line is execution. A web site is a given because it provides an information exchange platform for buyers and suppliers. But we want to take a further step to match their demands. The strategy is to build a well-woven network in China and USA, in which businesses benefit from integrated online and offline services."
