Maersk enhances warehouse network in Central America and Caribbean

A.P. Moller – Maersk has decided to expand its presence in Latin America and the Caribbean with the inauguration of a 14,000 m² fulfilment centre in Colombia and a 3,500 m² fulfilment centre in Panama.

The centre in Colombia is located in the ZOL Funza logistics project, which is 50 minutes from six of the main consumer market areas in Bogota, the capital of the country. The new Maersk fulfilment centre was inaugurated with customers from the pharmaceutical and consumer products industry, who are already using the facilities.

In particular, the centre provides warehouse management system, cross-docking, and other value-added services, and includes lithium battery electrical equipment and LED lighting.

“We are investing more than US$200 million in Colombia to expand our logistics infrastructure with investments in cold storages, warehouses, depots, distribution centres, and container yards, aiming to provide support to our customers’ supply chain while responding to their industries’ requirements,” pointed out Antonio Dominguez, head of Latin America and the Caribbean at Maersk.

Late in August, Maersk also announced the launch of its second fulfilment centre in Panama. The new facility is located in the Panama Pacifico logistic park and the site has 3,500 m² of storage capacity.

The two new facilities bring Maersk’s total footprint in the area to more than 180,000 m² spread across eight facilities in Central America, Andina and the Caribbean.
