Croda Brasil announced the opening of a new distribution center near the Campinas sector which cost about R$4 million (about one million dollars), this investment is part of a five-year plan to meet the growing demand of its customers, in Brazil and throughout Latin America.
Strategically located near its manufacturing site in Campinas and Viracopos International Airport, Croda's new distribution center will centralize the entire outbound logistics operation, providing even greater support to its customers through more efficient processes. With more storage capacity at twice what was previously available in Brazil, Croda demonstrates its commitment to regions and their customers by reducing maximum response time to 24 hours.
The new distribution center will meet the most demanding quality standards of national and international standards, which not only includes storage, but also transportation.
In the design and construction of this investment, efforts were also made to reduce the environmental impact of the facility, through the implementation of an intelligent lighting system with LED lamps that is sensitive to movement and aims to reduce energy consumption. This supports the values of the company's sustainability program and fundamentals for being a responsible company which continuously improves.
"The five-year investment plan is a crucial part of Croda's strategy to be more closely aligned with our customers' needs, leveraging our focus on continuous improvement in innovations by improving both our alignment with the market and with customer closeness," said Mr. Marco Carmini, Managing Director, Croda Latin America.
