DB Schenker inaugurates new facility in Manila
DB Schenker recently inaugurated a new facility in Manila, consolidating three units that had previously been located in Metro Manila into a central complex in the Sabrina Compound in Sucat/Paranaque City. The new facility provides 2,400 m² of office space for the corporate office, and accommodates the teams for air and ocean freight, customs clearance, special projects and contract logistics. The building includes nearly 1,000 m² of space for cross-docking operations. Adjacent to the 5,000 m² open yard is an area dedicated to project logistics. The complex also includes seven warehouses with a total of around 18,000 m² of storage area and 8,500 pallet positions. The new facility enables orders to be processed faster and allows through-going supply chain solutions. Internal processes have also been streamlined. According to Dr Thomas Lieb, chairman of Schenker’s management board and responsible for global air and ocean freight, Manila is a key hub in DB Schenker Logistics‘ global network. The company also intends to further expand its network of locations – primarily in the Asia-Pacific region – with customers in the consumer electronics sector in mind. Quelle: eyefortransport |
