A.P. Moller–Maersk (Maersk), a global leader in integrated logistics, and Castlery, the Singapore-founded international furniture brand, have signed a 10-year ocean and integrated logistics service agreement, further solidifying their long-standing partnership as Castlery accelerates its global expansion.
With ambitions to enter new markets and reinforce its presence in existing ones, Castlery is poised for significant growth in the coming years. As the brand scales, its collaboration with Maersk will be instrumental in ensuring a seamless and efficient supply chain. Maersk will provide end-to-end logistics solutions, encompassing ocean freight, intermodal transportation, and distribution, complemented by strategically located warehousing in key markets. This partnership enhances supply chain resilience, efficiency, and sustainability—critical factors in today’s dynamic global trade environment—while enabling Castlery to deliver its furniture swiftly and reliably to customers worldwide.
“Our goal is to bring Castlery’s thoughtfully designed, high-quality furniture to homes around the world. However, scaling a brand globally requires more than just great products—it demands a logistics network that is agile, efficient, and future-ready. This long-term partnership with Maersk provides us with the stability to grow while reinforcing our commitment to delivering a seamless experience for our customers,” says Declan Ee, Co-founder, Castlery.
This collaboration builds upon years of successful cooperation, with Maersk’s solutions driving improvements in Castlery’s supply chain operations, inventory management, and last-mile logistics. With the introduction of Maersk’s new network under the Gemini Cooperation, Castlery is set to benefit from enhanced reliability and improved delivery lead times, optimizing inventory levels and reducing costs.
“We have worked diligently to create an integrated, one-stop logistics service model that adds value across Castlery’s supply chain. We are thrilled to continue supporting their ambitious growth in various markets, ensuring that their furniture reaches end consumers promptly and seamlessly. This new agreement underscores the success of our partnership, which we are confident will continue to flourish over the next decade,” said Elaine Low, Area Managing Director, Southeast Asia, Maersk.
Beyond logistics, sustainability remains a shared priority for both companies. Castlery has already begun leveraging Maersk’s Eco Delivery solutions for ocean freight and inland transportation via electric trucking, aligning with their joint commitment to reducing carbon emissions and building a greener future.
As Castlery expands its global footprint, its strengthened partnership with Maersk will serve as a cornerstone for sustainable and efficient growth, ensuring a superior experience for customers worldwide.
