Sankyu Inc. has opened a logistics center in Thailand's strategic Eastern Economic Corridor to enhance the efficiency of its distribution services in the country.

The Japanese logistics company said Monday its new warehouse, just southeast of Bangkok, is reachable in one hour from Laem Chabang port and Suvarnabhumi airport, the nation's marine and air trading hubs.

Sankyu-Thai Co., a local subsidiary, operates the warehouse on the Amata City Industrial Estate in Chonburi Province.

Sankyu said the logistics center, its ninth around the Thai capital, mainly handles air conditioners and parts, auto components and chemical products, as well as food products and high functional materials.

It established its first logistics center in 1989. (NNA/Kyodo)
