USA - Panalpina Los Angeles has added an additional 42,000 square feet of warehouse space to cope with the growing demand it is experiencing for their supply chain management services to clients in Southern California.
Established in the area for over 50 years, Panalpina claims that the expansion ‘…strengthens its market position in Los Angeles, both as a destination logistics provider and a trans-shipment gateway.’
Lucas Kuehner, Panalpina USA’s Managing Director, stated: “As companies are increasingly outsourcing all but core functions, this latest expansion in the crucial Southern California market is customer and market driven”.
He added that: “In order to accommodate recent awards and proposed new business from existing customers in the hi-tech and couture industries, we realized that it made a lot of sense to secure the additional space, fitting it with mobile logistics racking and shelving.”
According to Jim Seiple, Business Unit Manager Los Angeles: “The expanded site provides ample room for us to tap into the existing infrastructure and know-how.
“We are confident that with our leading edge supply chain management services, Panalpina Los Angeles will further solidify its footprint as one of the principal players in this strategic market and gateway.”
Beyond its core freight forwarding and warehouse activities, the Los Angeles facility also provides additional logistics import/export services such as permanent storage, customized product labeling and packaging activities as well as fully integrated 3pl services.
