“Famous Trademark of Beijing”Certificate
In 2011, after six years’ efforts since its creation, “AIRCOCommercial” has developed from an unknown brand into an exemplary brand, while expanded from Beijing Airport to eight airports at the provincial and municipal level around China. Meanwhile, the company’s business also broadened from selling convenience products and daily necessities to currently diversified commodities in multiple categories, including travel accessories, high-endfashion, jewelry and electronic products. “AIRCO Commercial” has become more than just a logo or symbol. Rather, it has seeped into ACT in all aspects, become an essential part in ACT’s history, and has been growing with ACT together.
In 2005, according to CAH’s specialized restructuring strategy, and relying on airport commercial and retail resources, a brand-new ACT was officially registered and became a specialized company within CAH across different provinces and municipalities. According to CAH’s guidance and strategic requirement of “specialized management, brand-based operation and industrialized development”, ACT’s brand building began in 2005 simultaneously with the start of the company’s specialized restructuring. Later in 2006, the brand “AIRCO Commercial” was officially launched.
Along with ACT’s continuous development, the company’s specialized capacities kept improving. Consequently, the brand “AIRCO Commercial” gradually acquired certain recognition and influence, building a foundationand platform for the development of ACT’s sub-brands. As the company’s business diversified, a singular brand covering the entire sector could no longer meet the requirements of ACT’s strategy of diversified developments. Therefore, ACT started to create a sub-brand – When Terminal 3 of BCIA went into operation in2008, the sub-brand “AIRCO” dedicated to convenience products came into being.
