GERMAN transport logistics provider DB Schenker is building a 46,000-square-metre logistics centre in Kunshan, west of Shanghai for Kone, the global lift and escalator provider to open this autumn.
"With the new centre, we are setting a new standard in challenging distribution solutions for an industry with highest demands in terms of quality and speed," said DB Schenker North-Central China chief Karl-Heinz Emberger.
DB Schenker has provided services for Kone in Kunshan since 2009. But the 26,000-square-metre warehouse cannot cope with coming expansion. DB Schenker stores the lift and escalator components from the company's German plants, then labels the products and loads them onto trucks for distribution throughout China.
There are currently 24 staff with another 45 new hires due next year to run the new plant in the Kunshan Junxi Eco-Industrial Park.
