During a special visit to the JAS APAC Regional Office, Senior Vice President of Supply Chain Management and Logistics for PUMA North America Mr. Helmut Leibbrandt thanked the team for its ongoing support. As part of his acknowledgment for their efforts, Mr. Leibbrandt presented an award to APAC Executive Vice President Mr. Tomas Sonntag.  

The award also marked PUMA North America’s outstanding performance in 2021. During a time when other companies have struggled with supply chain disruptions and other pandemic-induced setbacks, PUMA North America posted strong growth. Brand momentum and operational flexibility contributed to the brand’s impressive performance. JAS APAC has been a vital part of that recipe for sustainability.

PUMA NORTH America has worked with JAS since 2009 when Kevin Ong joined JAS in that year.

JAS APAC Global Account Director Kevin Ong had a previous relationship with Mr. Helmut Leibbrandt that began in 1997.

Seventy percent of PUMA North America’s volume comes out of Vietnam. It is vitally important to have a logistics and supply chain management partner with strong APAC connections. Vietnam was a challenging market to manage, even before adding the complications of a global pandemic. JAS provides innovative solutions to PUMA to keep their products moving smoothly and on time.  

Congratulations to the entire JAS family for its contributions to PUMA NORTH America’s ongoing success!
