The U-Freight Group (UFL), the Asia-based freight services organisation, has strengthened its operations in Hong Kong with the opening of a further dedicated, full-service logistics facility after an extensive re-fit and modernisation, the Group's press release said.
The facility is located in Tsing Yi, close to Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA). UFL has leased the 39,000 sq ft facility that offers around 1,350 pallet positions and is targeted at fast fashion apparel and accessories. The refit, which took two months, has already attracted one new fast fashion customer to UFL, says Simon Wong, Chief Executive Officer of the U-Freight Group.
Mr Wong says: “There is already an excitement within the Hong Kong garment industry about our newly refurbished Tsing Yi. This has translated into a new customer that was attracted by our first-rate facilities and state-of-the-art processes. We’re open for business and we invite any company involved in the city’s vibrant garment and fashion industry to arrange a visit to our facility at Tsing Yi to see for yourself the great facilities available out our premises.”
The warehouse offers cross-docking, storage and daily delivery to stores within the Special Administrative Region (SAR). Goods arriving in Hong Kong from the US and China via UFL air and oceanfreight consolidation services will be handled at the facility.
The facility is available around the clock and offers 12 loading docks. The back office functions are handled in modern offices, while the warehouse has security procedures set in accordance with TAPA standards.
The primary function of the warehouse is to provide cross-docking logistics services and temperature-controlled storage and distribution facilities.
With enough racking for the storage of 1,350 pallets, the facility can maintain ambient temperatures between 22 and 24 degrees C and relative humidity between 45 and 70%.
In addition to the new centre, U-Freight's network now extends to multiple warehouse facilities across the Special Administrative Region, each with its own specialised target market, located at Yuen Long; Kwai Chung and Tokwawan.
