Panalpina's new logistics center in Moscow
aims at high-value cargo
01/24/2012
Panalpina continues to expand and
insource its Logistics offering. The
provider of supply chain solutions has
opened a new state-of-the-art logistics
center on the outskirts of Moscow. It
offers 6,000 m2 of storage area. 2,500 m2
are dedicated to cross-docking activities
and close to 1,500 m2 to Value-Added
Logistics Services (VAS). The new
logistics center with a 360 degree
service offering will improve efficient
and secure cargo flow into Russia for
Panalpina's customers.
Russia plays an important role in
Panalpina's global strategy to extend its
VAS capabilities throughout the world. The
new logistics center is located in between
main highways and close to Moscow's orbital
highway A-107. The center of Moscow is only
24 kilometers away. "Our logistics center
is right on the main inbound route from
Europe to Moscow," said Stefan Karlen, Area
Manager Black and Caspian Sea at Panalpina.
"We can now offer our customers very
attractive end-to-end supply chain
solutions Russia inbound. This involves
international transportation by all modes,
customs brokerage, local transportation,
cross-docking, storage and Value-Added
Logistics Services and distribution in the
entire Russian Federation." The three major
airports are within a 70 kilometer radius
of the logistics center.
Addressing a specific customer need:
tightened security
Panalpina has paid special attention to the
security set-up of the facility. The
logistics center lies within the fenced
Krekshino logistics park with controlled
entry and exit gates. A full-fledged
electronic access and alarm system prevents
unauthorized access. Over 100
high-resolution CCTV cameras monitor the
whole logistics center. Security personnel
are on-site 24/7. The security team and
video monitoring are under direct Panalpina
control. "Security is one of our customers'
top concerns when doing business in Russia.
We have over five years' experience with
high-value cargo and end-to-end solutions.
Not only can we offer a highly secured
logistics center, we can even provide armed
security convoys for the distribution of
high-value cargo within Russia," said
Cyrill Gaechter, Area Head of Marketing and
Sales at Panalpina.
Cross-docking and Value-Added Logistics
Services
Given the set-up of the logistics center,
it is particularly suited for customers in
high-tech, automotive, high-end fashion and
telecom but also for customers in
healthcare, consumer and retail and
manufacturing that are looking for high
quality security solutions and value-added
services. The logistics center offers
almost 8,000 pallet locations in the 6,000
m2 storage area. It offers full
cross-docking functionality. The
cross-docking area covers 2,500 m2. There
are 15 inbound and outbound docks. The
mezzanine offers an additional 1,500 m2 for
spare parts management and reverse
logistics or VAS such as "Fulfillment",
"Postponement", "Re-Packing" or "Kitting".
Panalpina expects the logistics center to
be fully certified for the highest security
standard (TAPA "A") by the end of 2012. By
that time the company also expects
certifications for occupational health and
safety (OHSAS 18001) and environment (ISO
14001).
