Dachser Far East: new warehouse in Shanghai

The internationally operating logistics provider, DACHSER, is expanding its contract logistics activities in China. A new warehouse in Shanghai with 10,000 square metres was recently put into operation.

Due to the growing demand for contract logistics services, the existing warehouse that opened in July 2007 had reached its capacity limits. The new facility is located close to the centre of Shanghai directly on the G2 Beijing-Shanghai expressway and the G 1501 Shanghai ringroad, giving speedy access to the Greater Shanghai administrative area with its 23 million inhabitants. Other cities of over a million inhabitants, including Suzhou and Wuxi, are just a one- or two-hour drive away. “This gives our customers perfect access to international markets,” explains Edoardo Podestá, managing director of DACHSER Far East Ltd.

The new warehouse provides space for up to 16,000 pallets in an area of 10,000 square metres.

“China is and will continue to be a key bridgehead for the expansion of our intercontinental network,” says Thomas Reuter, managing director of DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics.
