Latin America’s temperature-controlled warehousing and logistics provider, Emergent Cold Latin America (Emergent LatAm) and DP World have announced their intention to partner on the development of two temperature-controlled logistics facilities within DP World Logistics Parks in Latin America.
These developments, which are expected to provide Emergent Cold LatAm and DP World customers with a fully integrated supply chain solution, will be focused on the following locations:
- DP World Caucedo in the Dominican Republic, a free trade zone located in Punta Caucedo, near the city of Santo Domingo. It is the newest and most modern port on the island and a gateway for the Caribbean food trade.
- Duran Logistics Center in Ecuador that began operations in September 2020 as part of a large investment in this global trade market exports commodities mainly including shrimp and bananas.
The parties have also committed to exploring development activities in other DP World locations in Latin America to enhance their service offerings and further establish a cold-chain footprint.
“This partnership in these locations is an important step forward in our vision to build the highest quality cold storage network in Latin America,” stated Neal Rider, CEO of Emergent Cold LatAm.
In addition, Matthew Leech, CEO and Managing Director of DP World Americas Region, commented, “Partnering with Emergent Cold Latam allows us to jointly integrate the refrigerated supply chain of our customers and provide logistics solutions that simplify their supply chain.”
