Wednesday, November 15, 2006 Bax Global inaugurates facility
Bax Global Inc. inaugurated its new Cebu Logistics Center (CLC) in Mandaue City, along North Cebu Road for more efficient service.
The new facility now consists of 2,800 square meters lot area, 1,650 square meterslogistics area and a multi-level racking system for over 500 pallet positions.
“Besides having an air and ocean freight operation office, the new Cebu Logistics Center has a strategic importance and represents further expansion of the logistics network for our local and multinational customers,” said Reiner Allgeier, managing director of Bax Global Inc.
The opening of the new facility also highlighted the merging of Bax Global and CPI as one company, which will operate under the name Schenker by January 2007.
Schenker is one of the world’s leading providers of integrated logistics services and is a part of DB Logistics, the transportation and logistics division of Deutsche Bahn Ag.
Allgeier added that the new company will then have a workforce of over 500 employees and a revenue of more than P3 billion. It will offer the complete range of integrated logistics services, international freight forwarding and supply chain management solutions among others.
“This is the opportune time for us to showcase the commitment that we have especially for Cebu,” said Allgeier, “We will go for growth and that we are a company to stay. We want to grow in the Philippines.”
He is confident that in the next five years, Bax Global will be able to double its business and become the number one logistics provider in the Philippines.
Mayor Thadeo Ouano said that Bax Global has made the right decision to open their new facility in Mandaue City.
According to him Mandaue is now home to over 10,000 business establishments.
“The Regional Development Council even acknowledged Mandaue City as the fastest growing economy among local government units in Central Visayas,” Ouano said.
Ouano added that with the background of Mandaue and Bax Global’s visions, they will be able to serve the growing economy of the city. (Celeste Faith dela Cruz)
