LADKRABANG, Thailand,
Sept. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/
-- Menlo Logistics (Menlo), the US$1.5
billion global logistics subsidiary of Con-way Inc. (NYSE:
CNW), today announced the opening of its new, state-of-the-art,
multi-client warehouse facility in Ladkrabang, Thailand.
Menlo is a leading global provider of logistics, transportation
management and supply chain services with operations on five
continents. With a base of more than 36 operating locations in the
South Asia region, the company's
services range from dedicated contract logistics to warehousing,
distribution and transportation management; supply chain
engineering and other value-added services across multiple
industries.
Menlo officials state that the new
facility adds 9,747 square meters (105,000 square feet) of space,
increasing Menlo's total operating
space in Thailand to 32,528 square
meters (350,000 square feet). The facility will employ more than 25
employees and was chosen in part for its proximity to the points of
distribution for international export and domestic
distribution.
"The decision to open this new facility was driven by increased
consumer goods customer demand in the region," said Desmond Chan, managing director, Menlo Logistics
South Asia. "Our ability to provide outstanding logistics services
specific to consumer goods manufacturers, including special storage
and distribution, after-market parts distribution and inbound parts
management, positions our company to successfully meet that
demand."
Currently, 65 percent of the new facility's space is committed
for use by manufacturers of consumer goods products in the consumer
goods industry, leaving approximately 3,251 square meters (35,000
square feet) of space available. Citing the attractiveness of the
location, Menlo officials feel certain
the space will soon be filled through existing customer growth.
