China Merchants Loscam is already Asia Pacific’s leader in pallet and retail ready solutions. Now, it has undergone a restructuring to further enhance local management responsibility, strengthen its research and development capabilities and align itself more closely with customer needs.

Three executive vice presidents will continue to lead the business in Loscam’s three key regions:

Daniel Bunnett - Australia and New Zealand

Sirin Limpaitoon - South East Asia

Tai Chingnam - Greater China

 

There are three new appointments:

Mark Daniel has been made president

Linda Tsui is executive vice president finance

David Edwards is vice president marketing & development 

Michael Donahoo takes up the newly created position of vice president customer solutions. His job will be to centralise all customer solutions efforts across the group. Donahoo, who was previously head of customer solutions within Loscam’s Australian business, comes with a valuable history of retail supply chain experience. He joined Loscam in 2013 from Coles where he was head of supply chain for Coles Express.

The new structure will help Loscam establish its suite of new customer solutions across its markets in Asia Pacific and enable it to satisfy the increasing demand from retail and CPG companies for innovative returnable packaging solutions that help optimise their supply chains.

Mark Daniel, president, China Merchants Loscam, commented, “Today’s initiatives should reflect our ongoing journey to drive innovation and meet the ever changing needs of our customers and their rapidly evolving supply relationships”.
