Arvato SCM Solutions expands logistics and warehouse capacity in Hong Kong

Hong Kong/Guetersloh (ots) - New distribution center in Hong Kong
completes worldwide network for global player in the high-tech
industry

Arvato SCM Solutions has recently launched a new distribution
center in Hong Kong for a key global high-tech client. With a
logistics area of 100,000 square feet and an office space of 4,500
square feet the site complements the existing network of distribution
centers in Louisville (Kentucky, US), Ontario (California, US) and
Venlo (Netherlands) for this industry leader. The entire network was
designed and implemented within eighteen months on three continents.

The new warehouse is also Arvato's second logistics site that has
opened in Hong Kong within four years.

"By building this powerful network, we have set a benchmark that
is unparalleled in the industry. We operate all four sites with the
same standards, processes, interfaces, all running the same IT setup
based on a full end-to-end SAP solution," emphasizes Raoul
Kuetemeier, Head of Asia at Arvato SCM Solutions. The extensive
logistics and fulfillment services that Arvato is responsible for
include inbound, storage including temperature-controlled products,
outbound, carrier management of truck, sea and air freight
transports, customs brokerage (IOR / EOR) services and numerous
value-added services such as country-specific labeling,
transformation, bundling, rework and returns dispositioning. Arvato
also manages break bulk shipments for cross-border e-commerce. Raoul
Kuetemeier: "From our new site in Hong Kong we serve more than a
dozen markets in Asia and are close to the major manufacturing hub in
South China."

For warehouse operations and the smooth flow of goods, the
distribution center is equipped with twelve dedicated loading docks,
3,000 pallet locations in high racking, 500 shelve bins, 100 pallet
locations in temperature-controlled storage and two production lines,
including heat shrink wrap capability. Four in- and outbound gates
are also RFID-enabled.

The implementation of this major high-tech customer is, however,
only a first step towards further growth. "Hong Kong as a freeport
with highly efficient import and export processes is ideal for global
and regional distribution centers with fast turnover," explains
Andreas Podwojewski, Senior Director of Hong Kong at Arvato SCM
Solutions. "That's why we have decided to invest in additional space
so that the site will become a multi-user facility in 2019 for
high-tech customers."
