The development of this distribution center involved a private investment of nearly US$20 million and was implemented in just 18 months, a record time for the construction of a space of this type.
Yichang inaugurated its eighth Distribution Center in Peru, the company’s largest and one of the most important developed by a Peruvian company, thereby marking its entry into the logistics industry, where it will offer services to companies and strategic partners to significantly contribute to their commercial operations.
The distribution center is located within LatAm Logistic Properties’ Lima Sur Logistics Park, the only warehouse rental condominium that meets the highest international standards in terms of design, construction, environment and security in the country.
The new distribution centre covers an area of over 20,000 square metres, 1,050 metres of conditioning area and over 24,000 seismic-resistant selective storage positions, with 54 docks for receiving and dispatching merchandise, in addition to a capacity of 1,232 temperature-controlled positions between 15 and 17°C.
“At a time when private investment was at its lowest point, we made the decision to start building this dream, which is now consolidated after 95 years of uninterrupted work for a better future. We are here to stay,” said Carlos Hiraoka, general manager of GW Yichang.
The logistics warehouse has 22 lithium battery storage units to reduce the amount of waste generated, LED lighting that generates 45% savings in electrical costs, and 2 power generators that support 100% of the Distribution Center’s operations, guaranteeing uninterrupted activity 365 days a year.
The development of this distribution center involved a private investment of nearly US$20 million and was implemented in just 18 months, a record time for the construction of a space of this type.
In this way, Yichang expands its services and adds logistics to distribution, a business in which it has decades of experience and has more than 100 brands, both its own and represented, many of them leaders in their category.
