Safexpress, India’s largest supply chain & logistics company, has launched its ultra-modern Logistics Park in Bengaluru. This state-of-the-art facility is strategically located on National Highway 75 and is the company's biggest in south India. Senior dignitaries from the company present on the occassion included Rubal Jain, Managing Director, Vineet Kanaujia, Vice President – Marketing, SK Jain, Chief of Administration and PS Narayan, Regional Manager – Karnataka.
The Logistics Park enables loading and unloading of over 260 vehicles simultaneously, which ensures smooth and uninterrupted movement of goods. Operations at the Logistics Park are highly streamlined, which ensures the country’s fastest transit-time from Bengaluru to over 620 destinations across India. The Logistics Park has a column-less span of over 150 feet, which facilitates uninterrupted movement of goods within the facility. To enable all-weather loading and unloading of goods, the facility is equipped with a 16-feet wide Cantilever Shed. The Logistics Park has state-of-the-art firefighting equipment and trained manpower to deal with any emergencies.
Speaking at the launch ceremony, Rubal Jain said, “With an economic growth of over 10%, Bengaluru is the second fastest-growing major metropolis in India. It is the country's fourth largest FMCG market. The city is a hub for biotechnology related industry in India, and several biotechnology companies are located here. Being one of the largest industrial hubs of India, Bengaluru is a crucial location from supply chain & logistics perspective. Keeping this in mind, Safexpress has established its state-of-the-art Logistics Park at Bengaluru. This Logistics Park will serve as a nodal point for supply chain & logistics in South India. This facility is based at a strategic location and has strong connectivity with all South Indian states.”
The Logistics Park is expected to boost economic growth in the Karnataka region. Elaborating on this, Jain said, “The development of Safexpress Logistics Park in Bengaluru has been done on a land area of over 1.25 million square feet. This Logistics Park is enabled with state-of-the-art transhipment and 3PL (third party logistics) facilities. This will boost the industrial growth of this region. Safexpress Logistics Park at Bengaluru will help greatly in minimising the infrastructure gaps and serve the supply chain & logistics requirements of the entire Karnataka region.”
Moreover, this facility is a perfect mix of nature-friendly initiatives and technology. Safexpress has taken special environment-friendly initiatives at the Logistics Park by investing in rainwater harvesting system, developing a special green zone and using natural sunlight during the daytime to conserve energy. “We have developed robust IT systems to increase operational efficiencies and inventory visibility,” said Jain.
Rubal Jain concluded by saying, “Safexpress is leading the GST revolution and is helping innumerable companies in enhancing their business growth faster than ever. Most companies are now choosing to outsource their supply chain & logistics needs to a 100% GST compliant 3PL service provider like Safexpress, while keeping their own warehousing and hub infrastructure to minimal levels."
Across India, Safexpress is presently creating seven more Logistics Parks, which are in various stages of development.
