The appointment of David Bang is part of LX Pantos’s strategy to strengthen its business in the Americas and accelerate global growth. He will be responsible for the entire Americas region, focusing on the strategic market of the United States, as well as Mexico, Brazil, Panama, Chile, Colombia, and Argentina. He will lead efforts to acquire new customers and drive business expansion.

Recently, LX Pantos has designated the United States, the world’s largest market, as a strategic region and is accelerating its business expansion there. The company established ‘Boxlinks’, a joint venture with ONE (Ocean Network Express), the world’s sixth-largest shipping company, to enter the US intermodal (multimodal transportation) business. LX Pantos is also actively expanding its infrastructure, including the acquisition of a large logistics center in Georgia, a logistics hub in the southeastern United States, equivalent in size to 43 soccer fields.

Lee Yongho, CEO of LX Pantos, stated, “The Americas region is a key market in our company-wide global growth strategy. We expect that bringing in David Bang, who has extensive experience and leadership in the global market, will be a crucial turning point as we strive to become a top-tier global logistics company.”

Meanwhile, LX Pantos has also recruited Kim Youngsang, who has 29 years of global air logistics experience at Korean Air, as the new head of its Air Business Division. Kim Youngsang is expected to contribute to strengthening the competitiveness of LX Pantos’s air logistics business.
