SAFEXPRESS establishes enormous facility at Dhule
Facility to augment economic growth in Maharashtra region
Safexpress, India’s largest supply chain & logistics firm, launched its high-tech Logistics Park at Dhule. Spanning over an area of 12,50,000 sq feet, this ultra-modern Logistics Park is strategically located on NH 8. This enormous Logistics Park is one of India’s largest logistics facilities.
Speaking at the launch ceremony, Mr. Rubal Jain, Director – Corporate Strategy, Safexpress said “Dhule is an emerging city of Maharashtra. The city comprises numerous small scale industries that fall under Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC). Dhule is a hub for both agricultural and textile industries. A large number of edible oil manufacturing plants and food processing units are located in this belt. Raw materials for paper mills, cotton mills and readymade garment industry are also available from this region.”
Mr. Rubal Jain further highlighted, “Supply chain & logistics has a very vital role to play in the growth of numerous industries spread across the Maharashtra region. Despite being an agricultural and industrial hub, Dhule does not have adequate warehousing and logistics infrastructure to support the huge number of industries in the region. Keeping this in mind, Safexpress has developed an ultra-modern facility at Dhule, which will serve as a transhipment hub as well as a warehousing facility. Safexpress, with its Logistics Park at Dhule, will bridge the infrastructure gaps and serve the supply chain & logistics requirements of the entire region.”
Mr. Jain added, “We have made a significant investment to set up this ultra-modern logistics infrastructure. This will help the industries in Dhule belt in having access to our world-class supply chain & logistics services, which would contribute heavily in the economic growth of this entire region.”
Speaking about the role of logistics in our lives as well as our economy, Mr. Jain said, “Right from the advent of wheel, logistics has been part and parcel of every civilization and has evolved since then to what it is now in terms of the infrastructure development or means of transportation or the specialization of activities involved. Logistics has a very spontaneous presence indeed till now and will continue to be so till the last date on earth.”
He continued, “The essentials of our everyday existence, for instance, food, clothes, medicines, cosmetics, toiletries, footwear, electronic gadgets, etc., without which we cannot think of our survival any day, are the things that reach us through a very carefully planned and implemented logistics. This is the reason why logistics is considered as the backbone of our economy.” Also present on this occasion was Mr. Vineet Kanaujia, VP – Marketing, Safexpress. Highlighting the USP of the Logistics Park at Dhule, Mr. Kanaujia said, “Our Logistics Park at Dhule has a column-less span of over 131 feet and enables loading/unloading of over 108 vehicles simultaneously. The dedicated bays and docks at our Logistics Park in Dhule provide an uninterrupted and unidirectional flow of inbound and outbound goods.
