Chooses the Agility warehouse park as most efficient option in Mozambique
DSV, one of the world’s largest freight and logistics providers, has chosen the Agility Logistics Park in Mozambique as the location where it will manage storage and distribution for a global beverage customer, the company revealed in a press communique.
The Agility Park is the leading warehouse facility in Mozambique’s capital, Maputo. DSV has leased 12,000sqm at the facility with the possibility to add an additional 2,000sqm to help its customers meet seasonal demand for raw materials, bottles, packaging and finished products.
“At DSV, a safe, secure, and efficient distribution center is fundamental to our business model. The Agility warehouses provide the necessary infrastructure to meet exacting international standards and our operational requirements,” stated Philipp Buechler, Managing Director, DSV Mozambique.
“Agility Logistics Parks also ensures that strict HSSE standards are followed within the park, something that is very important for optimal operations. This partnership is one of the key milestones in our supply chain strategy, which will support our further business growth in Mozambique,” he added.
The Agility Logistics Park is located on the Maputo Ring Road, in the Chiango area in Marracuene and is strategically situated for efficient distribution both across the country and into Maputo. The park is within a 25-kilometer radius of the Maputo port and airport, the N4 highway to South Africa, and the capital’s Central Business District.
Agility is funding and developing 300,000sqm of warehouses on the site, a center of excellence for warehousing in the region, to support businesses operating in and from Mozambique. The Agility warehouses provide the essential infrastructure required for both multi-national companies and local businesses that need storage, distribution, packaging, processing and light manufacturing space.
International-standard warehouses
“We are pleased that DSV chose to lease warehouse space in the Agility Logistics Park in Maputo. We believe that the provision of international-standard warehouses for storage, distribution and light manufacturing is one of the fundamental building blocks necessary for economic growth,” commented Geoffrey White, CEO, Agility Africa.
“Across Africa Agility is funding and developing warehouse parks that provide move-in-ready warehouses, enabling fast deployment, flexibility and reduced capital commitments for our existing and new customers. The provision of secure, ready-built, quality, warehouses with consistent power and IT connectivity in the Maputo market is a true enabler of growth and prosperity in Africa,” concluded White.
