Bangkok--2 Nov--Spark Communications
Kerry Distribution has relocated all of it's Bangkok Operations to Chonburi to protect its employees and families and has provided temporary housing to over 100 families for its Bangkok staff in Sriracha so that it can coordinate its operations without disruption and continue to offer distribution services nationwide.
While other companies may have been impacted by the floods Kerry has taken the decision to move from it's base in Bangkok since a week ago and set up a new strategic headquarters in Sriracha, Chonburi where it will be able to connect seamlessly with it's senior executives, operations centre and key distribution hubs. Kerry can provide contingency logistics for any company and has already made the decision to secure more than 30,000 sqm of new warehousing in strategic locations.
"We assessed the situation and quickly realized that we needed to relocate if we were to continue to offer our full range of services to our customers and maintain our nationwide network. We believe that move has paid off and we have even enhanced our warehousing capacities to support companies during this crisis," said Jarumporn, Operations Director Kerry Distribution.
Kerry Group has over 500,000 square meters of logistics land and warehousing in Thailand with major facilities at Chonburi and Rayong. Another major strength of the company is it's distribution network that is supported by more than 1000 trucks that link 40 distribution centers across the country. Kerry can also provide cross border trucking services from Malaysia, China, Vietnam, and Laos.
"On top of this we have our own deep sea port facility at Laem Chabang so we can provide the full scope of services to support the country during this time," said Robert Turner, GM Kerry Express.
