Transforwarding Warehousing Joint-Stock Corp., or Transimex Saigon, on Monday started constructing a goods distribution center in Song Than 2 Industrial Park in Di An District, Binh Duong Province.
The distribution center, which will cover a total area of 18,000 square meters, will consist of a 12,000-square meter warehouse system, a parking lot for trucks and a container yard. It will be constructed in four months’ time with total investment capital of VND94 billion.
Le Duy Hiep, general director of the firm, said the fact that the center is located near industrial parks in the province as well as ports in HCMC will help shorten time and reduce costs for transporting commodities of local exporters and importers.
When in place, the center will serve demands for production and import-export activities of enterprises in industrial parks in Binh Duong and in the southern region.
Tran Van Lieu, director of Binh Duong Industrial Parks Authority, said 28 industrial parks have been established in the locality so far. The province will have 38 concentrated industrial parks covering a combined 19,000 hectares in line with the provincial zoning plan by 2020, he added. Therefore, now is the right time to build up sizeable transforwarding centers to meet the rising demand for commodities transport among companies in southern provinces in the near future. |
