Kerry opens two logistics centers in China
Hong Kong-based Kerry Logistics said Wednesday it has opened two new logistics centers in Chongqing and Kunshan.
The company said in mid-2010 it would open three such facilities in China in 2011, with the third planned in Shanghai. The company opened a new facility in Xiamen last July.
The first phase of the Chongqing Kerry Logistics Center has a total area of 20,500 square meters and will provide regional distribution throughout Southwest China including the Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan provinces. Target industries for the facility are electronics, high-tech, fashion, automotive and pharmaceutical, the company said.
The Kerry Kunshan Logistics Center is an 18,800-square-meter facility roughly 30 miles from Shanghai and Suzhou.
'Kunshan City has attracted significant foreign investment to its industrial zones, including manufacturers from different sectors including electronics, precision machinery, fine chemicals, digital products, software, semiconductors and communications equipment,' Kerry said.
