Construction of new distribution center in Vietnam
Our company is constructing a new distribution center to expand its logistics business in Vietnam.
The preceding construction, we established “KATOLEC GLOBAL LOGISTICS VIETNAM CO., LTD.” a new global logistics company in Vietnam in January 2019.
A ground-breaking ceremony was held at the Dong Van III Industrial Zone in Ha Nam Province, the site of the construction, in accordance with local religious ceremonies at the end of last month.
We prayed for the safety of the construction and the safe completion of the distribution center. It is scheduled to start operations in March 2020.
It will be the 3rd distribution base following Thailand in 2011 and Hong Kong in 2013 in the global logistics business.
We will support our customers’ business strategies by enhancing logistics services linking Japan and the three ASEAN countries and by further expanding our global logistics business.
Responding to diverse logistics needs
The Dong Van III Industrial Zone is a government-certified industrial zone exclusively for Japanese companies.
It is conveniently located between the main transportation network in the north and Hai Phong. Currently, there are supporting industries and high-technology product manufacturers that manufacture various pieces, parts and materials, and there is a growing need for distribution centers (DC).
A demand is also rising for warehouses for hazardous materials that comply with standards for handling inflammable liquids used as raw materials for products.
Our company will respond to these needs in a meticulous manner with Japanese logistics quality.
From Manufacturing to Logistics – Realization of Logitronics –
Our company’s electronics business entered Vietnam in 2005 first.
We provide electronic equipment manufacturing consignment services (EMS: Electronics Manufacturing Service) mainly to Japanese companies operating in Vietnam at its own plant in the Quang Minh Industrial Zone in Hanoi.
We also procure parts and assemble finished products, primarily for electronic equipment on mounting substrate.
It takes about an hour by car from the new distribution center and is easily accessible.
Taking advantage of the management accuracy we have cultivated in the electronics business, we will improve the overall efficiency of our logistics operations to realize optimal and smooth logistics.
