Bolloré opens new facilities in Africa and Asia

Bolloré Transport & Logistics Cameroon has recently opened the Kribi Logistics Hub, a modern logistics base with a total area of ​​24,000 m².

This platform is located near the Kribi Container Terminal (KCT) and is designed to receive, store, and deliver goods for import and export.

So far for the start of the first phase of the project, more than US$6,4 million (CFA 4 billion) has been invested with a total budget of US$11 million (CFA 7 billion), while the work for this first phase lasted 18 months.

It is important to note that this is the second investment of the company after the 100,000 m² platform managed by SEPBC (Société d’exploitation des parcs à bois du Cameroun), which specialises in wood handling.

“This logistics infrastructure will support the work of the Cameroonian authorities to develop local value chains. It will also boost the export capacities of the hinterland countries for commodities,” commented Hilippe Lanonne, CEO of Bolloré Africa Logistics.

This multimodal platform connects to the port of Kribi via a 2.9 km long trunk road.

The start-up phase includes 7,720 m² of operating space, 6,000 m² of storage and 310 m² of office space.

Meanwhile, Bolloré Logistics has also announced the opening of SMILE HUB, a warehouse and distribution center in Thailand.

SMILE HUB is located in Bangplee, close to Bangkok, with good access to infrastructure and transport links.

With an area of ​​11,000 m², it was designed to meet the growing needs of the perfume and cosmetics and luxury sectors in Thailand and the region, according to a statement.

“The opening of this new logistics hub demonstrates our commitment to expanding our presence in Thailand and South-East Asia. SMILE HUB combines efficiency with sustainability, incorporating modern facilities to ensure highly efficient operations while taking care of our people and the environment,” said Cyril Dumon, CEO of Bolloré Logistics Asia Pacific.
