Kuala Lumpur – HDC, a company established by the Malaysian Government to direct and coordinate the development of Halal industry and lead the development of Halal standards, audit and certification has also been entrusted by the Government to coordinate the development of relevant Halal Parks throughout Malaysia.
HDC has today signed an MOU to assign Tamadam to utilise its expertise and experience to propose the optimal procedure to implement the logistics infrastructure and facilities for certain Halal Parks in Malaysia. Tamadam is proud and happy to be the FIRST and ONLY leading Halal logistics service provider to be so recognised by HDC.
Further, HDC may recommend to the Halal Park operators to appoint Tamadam to implement logistics facilities in the Halal Parks including warehouses, distribution centers and other logistics infrastructure. In consideration of Tamadam’s contribution, HDC will try to give first preference to Tamadam for allocation of space within the Halal Parks.
HDC recognises that cost efficient and comprehensive logistics services are essential for the successful implementation of the Halal initiative. Tamadam’s vast experience and global network linking 120 ports and 1,200 destinations will ensure occupants of Malaysia’s Halal Parks are assured of comprehensive freight linkages and cost efficient logistics support.
“The success of the World Halal Forum 2008 demonstrates the importance of Halal in the world today. The endorsement by HDC of Tamadam and the involvement of Tamadam in the high growth halal industry especially in the halal food industry, from farm to fork, is another spectrum of the expansion of Tamadam into areas which are expected to contribute positively to the future earnings of the Tamadam Group” said Tunku Dato’ Seri Mahmud bin Tunku Besar Burhanuddin, Executive Chairman of Tamadam.
