Keeping these needs in mind, GEODIS&#8217; new site will<br \/>\nfeature specially designed temperature-controlled areas to facilitate the<br \/>\noptimal storage of pharmaceutical products at +15-25 degrees as well as +4<br \/>\ndegrees Celsius. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The<br \/>\ngrowing demand will also be addressed by the site&#8217;s high productivity storage<br \/>\nsolution, which consists of two-metre wide aisle racking that affords 5,000<br \/>\npallet locations. There is a tier one Warehouse Management System (WMS) that<br \/>\noffers automated operating systems to support the thriving e-commerce<br \/>\nfulfillment business. The purpose-built facility is located at one of<br \/>\nAuckland&#8217;s most prominent industrial hubs at Auckland Airport with connections<br \/>\nto the main arterial routes used for distribution. It will also house GEODIS&#8217;<br \/>\ninternational container freight station (CFS), contract logistics and last mile<br \/>\ndistribution set-up to enable full-service supply chain management under one<br \/>\nroof.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Significantly,<br \/>\nthis new facility is in harmony with our commitment to being a strong growth<br \/>\npartner to our customers. As GEODIS continues to expand, we will also continue<br \/>\nto enhance our infrastructure and processes to align our evolution with our<br \/>\ncustomers&#8217; development ambitions,&#8221; said Stuart Asplet, Sub-Regional Managing<br \/>\nDirector, Pacific &amp; Regional Director Sea Freight, Asia Pacific. &#8220;The<br \/>\nsupply chain industry has certainly been disrupted by the pandemic, yet GEODIS&#8217;<br \/>\npassion to stay ahead of the curve has continuously pushed us to deliver<br \/>\nindustry-leading solutions that add value to our customers&#8217; business goals. Our<br \/>\ncore belief to make a tangible impact on our clients&#8217; goals, has allowed us to<br \/>\nremain one of the fastest-growing logistics operators globally&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The<br \/>\nmove further emphasises GEODIS&#8217; focus on the APAC market and follows a series<br \/>\nof investments and advancements made in the region over the past few months.<br \/>\nThe consolidation of the company&#8217;s operations from multiple sites to a single<br \/>\nsite will also boost efficiencies. The logistics provider has signed a<br \/>\nlong-term lease for the Auckland facility, encouraged by a healthy growth<br \/>\ntrajectory in the market.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re<br \/>\nconfident that the facility at Auckland Airport will be a gamechanger for our<br \/>\ncustomers.
