Leading French contract logistics provider, FM Logistic India, inaugurated its 3rd state-of-the-art Multi Client Facility in India’s largest logistics hub of Bhiwandi today in the presence of its customers  and  partners.  This  new  facility  reinforces  its  commitment  to  delivering  world-class sustainable  omni-channel  solutions  to  customers  in  the  Retail,  FMCG,  Pharma  and  Precision Engineering industries. The momentous occasion was graced by Ajit Jangle, Managing Director of FM Logistic India and Loic Delaitre, FM Logistic’s Group Automation Director. Dignitaries from the French Consulate and the Indo-French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in India were also in attendance.  The inauguration ceremony was followed by an interactive session on "Warehouse Automation - Leveraging Technology to Future-Proof Your Supply Chain." This session shed light on the pivotal role of automation in ensuring supply chain resilience and sustainability.

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.

Speaking  at  this  milestone  moment,  Ajit  Jangle  expressed,  “With  the  inauguration  of  our  3rd Distribution Centre in Bhiwandi which also houses a Multi-client bonded customs warehouse, we have  reiterated  our  strong  presence  in  India’s  logistics  domain.  With this, we are offering integrated, innovative and sustainable value-added solutions. Additionally, the co-packing set-up deployed at this site will help cater to dynamic business requirements while ensuring quality and consistency.  We  strongly  believe  that  this  solution  will  go  a  long  way  in our goal to enhance customer intimacy."

FM Logistic India’s new Distribution Centre, with its strategic location, co-packing capabilities, and sustainability certification, is a comprehensive and efficient solution for diverse sectors, contributing significantly to the evolving logistics and supply chain needs of the customers.
