昨日，全球最大的物流企业、世界500强之一的丹麦马士基在西博会上与成都正式签署《马士基单证处理中心及丹马士物流处理分公司项目投资合作协议》。根据协议，马士基集团将在成都设立单证处理中心以及物流处理分公司，其中包括全球信息服务中心(Global Service Center)，用于处理来自全球的马士基后台业务流程，并对外提供BPO服务。据悉，此项目是马士基集团在西部大开发之后，落户西部的首个项目。
全球信息成都中转
“该项目建成后，将是全球最大的马士基office。”昨日，马士基高级执行董事—中国区绍伟接受记者采访时透露，马士基成都单证处理中心以及物流处理分公司位于与新会展中心毗邻的天府软件园D区3号楼，项目共计4层楼、办公面积达到约2万平方米，目前正在进行紧急装修施工。在它附近，阿里巴巴、埃森哲、DHL、腾讯、维音、拉法基、wipro等重磅企业已经先行一步入驻。
印度一个客户的下单数据，将在成都中心中转至全球，进行办理。据悉，马士基成都单证处理中心以及物流处理分公司经营范围涵盖单证处理、后台运营、物流处理及员工培训等功能。未来，马士基将整合位于原各分公司的服务中心，把所有信息处理的工作全部放到成都来处理。开展包括系统维护、数据信息处理等全球范围后台业务流程服务。
“项目还没有建成，我们已经开始考虑在成都增加投资。”绍伟透露，下一步，马士基筹划将物流业务扩展至成都，将先进物流领域带入成都助力西部物流发展。
全球选址看中成都
马士基集团副总裁、物流北亚区首席执行官、丹马士环球物流(上海)有限公司史可升表示，在成都设立的单证处理中心以及物流处理分公司是马士基参与中国西部大开发的第一个项目，前期公司不仅在中国、甚至在全球进行了认真细致地选址，“经过考察目标城市，成都是最终的胜出者！”
史可升称，成都具备的四方面要素是马士基最终选择项目落户的原因，包括在商务方面的竞争力、政府的高效、人才优势以及巨大的发展潜力。他表示，他本人对于世界银行给予成都“中国内陆投资标杆城市”的评价非常认可，称公司将在成都扎根、长期发展。
“在此次签约之前，我们的项目其实已经在启动前期的准备，主要是在本地招聘大量人才！”史可升告诉记者。按照计划，马士基成都项目在启动一年内将达到1500人的规模，其中大部分员工将在成都本地进行招聘。史可升透露，公司已经在成都进行了第一轮的校园招聘，此次他参加西博会之余也将到本地高校进行第二轮的招聘工作，“下午我就要亲自去招聘成都的优秀人才！”
"After careful and thorough evaluations in China and other countries, we finally chose Chengdu," said Shi Kesheng, vice president of Maersk Group. Four attractions of Chengdu brought about Maersk's final decision: competitiveness in business, high efficiency in government approvals, big talent pool as well as huge market potential, said Shi.
In recent years, lowering operating costs has become many global companies' new priority. Increasing numbers of foreign firms aim to make their footprints in the untapped western markets of China. Chengdu, the economic and financial hub of southwestern China, has been an ideal location for global companies to take advantage of the city's developed infrastructure, talented human capital, open environment as well as lower operating costs. At present, Chengdu has gradually formed a certain cluster of shared service center. Numerous world-class companies, including Accenture global delivery center, DHL Shared Services Center, Lafarge back-office services center, Amazon order fulfillment center, and domestic players like Alibaba and Tencent, have set up companies there.
Since 2008, more and more international companies have established their back-offices or development centers in the city, seeking lower operating costs, especially in the wake of global financial crisis. During the first half of 2009, Accenture, DHL, JPMorgan as well as Volkswagen opened their offices in Chengdu, and 134 "Fortune 500"-listed companies already have market presence in the city.
Maersk is considering to further increase investments in Chengdu as part of efforts to expand business in the western market, said Shao Wei, a managing director of Maersk.
