OMAHA, Neb. - Werner Enterprises, Inc. (Nasdaq: WERN), held its inauguration ceremonies May 18, 2007 in Shanghai, China for Werner Global Logistics (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. The events coincided with the company Chairman's first visit to Werner's China operations, and to officially inaugurate the opening of its Asia headquarters.

C.L. Werner, founder and Chairman of the Board for Werner Enterprises, and members of the executive team were joined by key government officials, customers and guests in an inauguration ceremony and a number of media events held in Shanghai's Pudong district where the companies' offices are located.

Werner received its business licenses in 2006 and was recognized as one of the first North American companies to receive combined approval to operate as a wholly owned foreign entity in logistics, trading, warehousing and NVOCC services under China's new regulations. In addition, Werner has been licensed as a NVOCC and U.S. Customs Broker via its subsidiary Werner Global Logistics, U.S. LLC.

Our customers have come to expect us to be where they need us, when they need us and that may mean shipments out of China or other markets where they build or buy," said C.L. Werner.

"By combining the premier logistics and transportation operators in China with our systems platform and logistics know-how we can deliver best-in-class service from origin to final mile distribution between China and the US marketplace," said Derek Leathers, Senior Executive Vice President of Value Added Services and International.
