15 Feb 2024 CW Team

Spread across an impressive 7 lakh sq ft, the new facility aligns with international standards and positions FM Logistic India as one of the top technology-driven contract logistics companies in the nation. The strategic location of the warehouse in close proximity to major consumption centres, in Mumbai and Thane, enhances eﬃciency and responsiveness.

One of the noteworthy features of the new facility is the availability of a multi-client customs-public bonded section within the warehouse premises to provide integrated solutions. Thanks to this feature, customers can have the bonded and non-bonded products stored at the same location without the need for additional handling or movement from a CFA to the warehouse.

Another salient feature of the new warehousing facility is an automated co-packing set-up for one of FM Logistic’s premium FMCG customers. This innovation enables the execution of promotional oﬀers and successful campaign management with 24/7 readiness, catering to the dynamic nature of FMCG promotions.

With this, we are oﬀering integrated, innovative and sustainable value-added solutions.
