We open a new distribution center in China
Arvato has officially opened a new central Logistics Center in China, consolidating multiple smaller sites into a single, modern facility to enhance logistics operations. The center, spanning nearly 20,000 square meters, is strategically located in Jinshan District, Shanghai and ensures optimized supply chain efficiency.
“We are excited to inaugurate our new Shanghai Jinshan Logistics Center, a significant milestone in our expansion strategy for China,” says Raoul Kuetemeier, Head of Asia at Arvato. “This modern facility allows us to optimize our logistics network, improve operational efficiency, and continue delivering innovative and customized supply chain solutions to our valued clients”.
The Jinshan Logistics Center is designed to accommodate the growing demands of Arvato’s clients from the high-tech and consumer goods industries. With a focus on operational excellence, the new facility integrates modern warehousing infrastructure and logistics technology to enhance efficiency, scalability, and service quality.
Strategic Location for Optimal Connectivity
Situated in the Jinshan District, Shanghai, the new logistics center boasts a prime location, strategically positioned just 60 km from Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) and 50 km from downtown Shanghai. Additionally, its proximity to a major highway entrance ensures seamless transportation and distribution efficiency.
“The development of the Jinshan Logistics Center underscores Arvato’s agility and expertise in logistics project execution. The implementation phase commenced in mid-January, with foundational work successfully completed within just two months. By early March, the facility was fully operational, marking a swift and efficient transition”, emphasizes Raoul Kuetemeier.
Arvato is currently facilitating the gradual relocation of projects from existing warehouses, ensuring minimal disruption to clients’ supply chains. Furthermore, two new clients from the tech industry are set to go live before June, further solidifying the company’s expansion in the region.
