Japanese subsidiary Yusen Logistics (Cambodia) Co., Ltd. said it launched August 1 a temperature-controlled distribution center in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
The 3,000-square-meter cold storage facility is intended to strengthen the firm’s distribution network in Asia, particularly in the ASEAN region, and tap into growing demand for warehouse storage for imported general consumer goods as well as chilled and frozen goods in the Southeast Asian nation.
In addition, the company said it will be offering Cambodia’s first consolidated delivery service in Phnom Penh for retailers and wholesalers.
The new facility has an area almost double the capacity of the existing warehouse, and includes a 120-cubic-meter temperature-controlled storage area. The company said the expansion will enable the facility to meet quality assurance and compliance standards in the storage, processing, and distribution of chilled and frozen goods.
Meanwhile, the consolidated delivery service will be available to customers in Phnom Penh every day except weekends. Yusen Logistics will also provide the same service for chilled and frozen goods using cold-storage boxes, ensuring that product quality is maintained up to the point of delivery.
The Cambodia subsidiary, which began operations in 2013, provides a diverse and varied range of logistic services, including ocean and air freight forwarding, customs clearance, domestic delivery, and cross-border transportation.
