BEING in a highly-fragmented industry, logistics player Swift Haulage Bhd has no choice but to increase its scale and operational efficiency to stay competitive in the market.

The proceeds from the proposed IPO will go towards the construction of a new warehouse in Port Klang Free Zone, the acquisition of 30 units of prime movers and the purchase of land for future expansion.
