Transfar Zhilian Co., Ltd.

Chinese specialty chemicals maker and digital freight logistics operator

What Transfar Zhilian does

Transfar Zhilian makes industrial chemicals — dyeing and textile auxiliaries, coatings, resins, silicones, polyurethanes and synthetic rubber — that other manufacturers use to finish fabrics, paint buildings and build products. Alongside that, it runs one of China's large road-freight networks, including an online platform that matches cargo with truckers, highway logistics ports, and supply chain services. The Hangzhou-based company is a subsidiary of Transfar Group and also exports its chemical products.

How Transfar Zhilian makes money

The chemicals side sells physical products — auxiliaries, coatings, resins and butadiene rubber — to industrial customers in China and abroad, earning on volume and specialty formulation margins. The logistics side earns freight platform and transaction fees, warehousing, transport and supply chain service revenue, plus ancillary income from after-sales vehicle services, payments, insurance and property/engineering management.
