He entrusted the task of managing the agency and creating a network of local offices that would help commercial growth to a University Professor and shipping expert. Thus, tens of offices would open across the country as Jacques Saadé believes building a tight network is essential. These offices, opening first on the coast then in inland provinces, allowed the company to support China’s industrial policy which entailed curbing rural-urban migration and industrializing Central China. 25 years later: more than 1,200 staff members, 60 agencies and 76 shipping lines.
