Flexible Unind Support with Our Manufacturing cross bases in Thailand, Vietnam, and China What's Unind highlight? The manufacturing support among our manufacturing bases in Thailand, Vietnam, and China forms the foundation of success. These three regions are closely connected, this spirit of cooperation drives our pursuit of excellence and continuous innovation. 

China has emerged as a global leader in various fields, including manufacturing, technology, infrastructure, and innovation. The “Made in China” tag has historically faced skepticism in some markets, often associated with low-cost goods, but that perception has shifted significantly over the years. Today, it reflects a spectrum of quality, from affordable products to high-tech innovations.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going. I learned this from my talk with Mr Clemen Tan, Japfa Comfeed's General Director. We discussed the market situation and the upcoming plans to strengthen Japfa's position in Vietnam. What I've learned is that the company is undergoing some reformation and is quickly adapting to the new situation. It's great to hear that Vietnam is still being seen as a key market, and it's understandable that Mr Tan is acknowledging the ongoing challenges and the high-pressure environment. He's absolutely right that streamlining operations and improving efficiency are crucial for businesses to stay afloat during these difficult times.

There is a serious geopolitical concern with a rising China especially in terms of research, rare earth mining, and the industrial sectors. Throughout history we see times where a stronger and weaker power meeting results in conflict. Whether we call the situation a Thucydides trap, the substructure meeting the superstructure or use other terminology does not really matter but what matters is tension and conflict is becoming more relevant today. With the fall of the Soviet Union we saw an inflection point of history where Russia is attempting to reclaim a lost legacy with military interventions in Georgia and Ukraine. Countries which have gained independence with color revolutions and have fought tooth and nail for freedom. Along with waning Russian influence in regions which had been suppressed as a part of Russia’s sphere of influence for generations (such as in the Caucuses, the Central Asian countries, and more). Russia still tries to seize a memory of the so called ‘glory days’ now fading in Ukraine. Russia is destroying themselves as we speak. Russia has been fighting for their former glory just as Spain tried to fight for their glory in the Americas and lost great power status. Or as France is trying to influence Africa (which with the recent coups appears to be working according to a bad plan like in Haiti and Vietnam or not at all). Power corrupts and as we see the long term results from immigration in the fleeing of people from the former Spanish colonies and French Haiti the value of stability. If we don’t get the Ukraine situation right then we could see similar mass migration waves with only a failed war torn state to return to. It is essential for Europe to get serious about the crisis on their doorstep. The goal of 2% of GDP was not met and military infrastructure and facilities take start up costs. For this crisis to be met up to 5% of GDP should be the goal. The declining EU research and development as well as the historical low military spending data suggests that Europe needs to learn to step up. With globalization we see a loss of research in Europe and a loss of industry in the US. Key sectors which were replaced due to other countries having a competitive advantage. Our trade has made us wealthy, more prosperous but also unskilled in essential sectors. If we are sleep walking into a conflict can we win with little regard to industry or research or should we take steps towards a self sufficient future at a higher price tag?

It’s Tough for European Chemical Companies They’re losing the price war to Asian competitors  They can’t pump out products at the same rate… But here’s what they can do instead… Europe shouldn’t bother competing in the price game. Because Asia will ALWAYS win! Instead, we should focus on what we do best… Quality and innovation. Our advantage isn’t in churning out more of the same. Our advantage is creating superior products We have the geography. We have the talent. We have SO much potential. But while we keep wasting resources trying to play the price game with China… We’re falling drastically behind. If we shift our focus towards product excellence… We have the power to win. The future won’t be built on what’s cheapest. It’ll be built on what’s best!

As the complexities of global trade continue to evolve, the focus in South-east Asia must shift from competition to cooperation. The current landscape, influenced by the Red Sea crisis and an early peak season on the Asia-Europe routes, demands a more strategic alignment between Singapore, Port Klang, and Tanjung Pelepas. At Volta Shipping, we recognise that collaboration among key transhipment hubs will not only enhance supply chain resilience but also provide sustainable solutions for the future. Working together can unlock greater efficiencies, drive innovation, and ensure the region’s long-term competitiveness in global shipping.
