Orange Connex Global UK Limited

Orange Connex is a technology-focused fourth-party logistics (4PL) company that develops global supply chain solutions for the e-commerce industry. It was established in 2018 as a joint venture and strategic partnership between eBay and CPE, a major Chinese private equity fund, to enhance cross-border logistics. Headquartered in Hong Kong, the firm has expanded its operations globally, including in the UK, Germany, and Australia.

The company's core business revolves around providing end-to-end logistics services, including fulfillment, warehousing, international parcel services, and customs clearance. A key offering is the "eBay Fulfilment by Orange Connex" program, which provides sellers with services analogous to Amazon's FBA, such as storage, packing, and shipping. This service integrates directly with the eBay marketplace, offering sellers benefits like enhanced seller protection, exemption from listing limits, and automated order fulfillment. Its proprietary technology and use of big data from e-commerce platforms allow it to offer optimized, real-time logistics solutions by integrating a network of domestic and international providers.

Orange Connex primarily serves e-commerce sellers, particularly those on the eBay platform, helping them to streamline delivery, manage inventory, and scale their businesses. One of its initial and notable services is SpeedPAK, a shipping program created for sellers in China to expedite deliveries to the US and Europe with an average transit time of 8-12 business days. The company operates a multi-channel fulfillment management platform, supporting sales across various e-commerce channels, not just eBay. Its business model is based on providing these technology-driven logistics and supply chain services, with revenue generated from fees for fulfillment, shipping, and other value-added services.
