JAS EMEA is pleased to announce the arrival of Christian Haase as EMEA Regional Sales Director for the automotive industry.
Christian joins JAS with 20 years of experience in the international supply-chain & logistics sector. He has gained experience working for renowned global competitors in positions ranging from operations to sales in past roles. Christian has also worked to elevate global business development in account management positions with a focus on the automotive sector.
This automotive vertical is one of the strongest verticals within the JAS organization, with long-term global participation and successful loyal global automotive customer partnerships.
Based in Stuttgart, Germany, Christian will report to François-Xavier Mollet, JAS EMEA Sales & Marketing Vice-President. He will also work closely with Jim Ryan, JAS Worldwide Automotive Vice-President, to strengthen the development of JAS’ activities and market-share.
Even the most remote areas can’t prevent the JAS Worldwide team from meeting delivery deadlines for clients. Case in point: Perth, Australia.
Located in Western Australia, Perth is one of the most isolated capital cities in the world. Pre-pandemic, only 20 percent of flights serviced the city. As a result, importing and exporting supplies and other products from Perth requires superior logistics management skills.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Perth’s seclusion became even more detrimental because of border closures. Extreme weather conditions have further complicated matters, with flooding in South Australia washing out more than 186 miles of rail lines used to bring food and other supplies to the West Coast.
As borders have begun reopening, a need arose to ensure Western Australia had sufficient personal protective equipment (PPE). A major Perth customer requested JAS Australia’s assistance moving nearly 6,000 cartons of PPE from a supplier in Wuhan, China, to Perth, Western Australia.
Never one to turn down a logistical challenge, the JAS Australia team sought the assistance of their counterparts at JAS Shanghai to accomplish the task at hand. Between the two teams, they secured two Boeing 777 aircraft. The aircraft was scheduled to depart three days apart to ensure the product arrived within the requested timeframe.
JAS Shanghai assisted with the coordination with the Wuhan PPE supplier and ensured both B777 charters were maximized with 3,000 cartons per flight. Both charter flights touched down at Perth International Airport at the scheduled time of 7:30 a.m. before transferring to the JAS Perth bonded warehouse. The PPE was then reloaded onto pallets and delivered to the customer by 1 p.m. the same day for a quick turnaround.

As a part of its customer centric approach, JAS Brazil has further invested in its location in Rio de Janeiro with completion of its expansion of its facilities.
The expansion of the Rio branch offers strategic connotations due to its geographic location which situates it near the Port of Rio de Janeiro, which is one the largest ports in Brazil. Furthermore, Rio de Janeiro is also home to Galeão International Airport, which is home to one of the largest logistics terminals in all of Latin America.
JAS began its operations in Brazil in 1990 with an office in Manaus. It has now expanded its network to include 13 branches and 3 gateways at the main airports in Brazil.
The JAS Rio team boasts specialists in air, sea (LCL and FCL), and road freight operations. They also have the competitive advantage of being AEO- Authorized Economic Operator certified.
JAS Brazil knows that supporting and strengthening their network means supporting and strengthening their team. Aiming to provide customers with the best service available, JAS looks forward to continuing to grow in Brazil.

People around the world have watched in dismay as the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine continues to evolve. JAS Italy decided they couldn’t just stand by without doing all they could to help, so all 20 Italian branches came together to launch an aid campaign.
Due to their generosity, JAS Italy team members collected 12 tons of basic necessities ranging from food to clothes to baby products and medicine were gathered to help those in need. In addition, monetary donations were gathered so products could be purchased in the areas where there was the greatest need.
The items were sent to the JAS warehouse in Segrate, where they were carefully prepared for transport. Under the direction of a local non-profit organization, the goods were then loaded and driven to Chisinau in Moldova before finally being transported to the final destination in Odessa, Ukraine.
The quick and compassionate response of JAS Italy reflects the company's commitment to the global community and the fact that at JAS, people really do make the difference. Biagio Bruni, founder and president of JAS stated, “It is the first expedition, but it will not be the last because the emergency is unfortunately destined to last; soon, we hope to be able to start a second trip.”
