We are pleased to announce that the funds*1 to which we provide investment-related services completed the capital participation in Orange Connex Group (Headquarters: Hong Kong, People’s Republic of China, Representative Director: Annette Phoebe Young, hereinafter referred to as “OC Group”).
OC Group is a technology company specializing in the global e-commerce industry, founded in 2018 through a strategic partnership between eBay Group and China’s leading private equity fund, CPE. To date, the company has handled over 340 million shipments across more than 200 countries and territories, serving more than 65,000 customers. By leveraging its proprietary technology and big data from global e-commerce platforms, OC Group provides real-time, optimized logistics solutions tailored to each customer, seamlessly integrating the most efficient and cost-effective services from domestic and international logistics providers.
