KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 8 -- Nippon Express USA Inc (NE USA), a subsidiary of Nippon Express Co Ltd is constructing a new warehouse in Wood Dale, Illinois, which is scheduled to start operations in January, next year.
NE USA’s Chicago hub has established facilities in three locations near Chicago with the aim of providing gateway functions for the Midwest as one of the most important hubs in the country.
Its existing warehouse in Wood Dale offers storage, delivery and logistics services for general cargo, including electrical discharge machines, press machines and other heavy equipment.
Upon completion, the NE USA head office, presently situated in New York, will be relocated to the new facility to enhance operations speed and efficiency by integrating head office, sales and operational functions into a single location and thereby, improving Nippon Express’ operations across the United States.
In opening a new business location in Wood Dale, NE USA seeks to generate synergetic effects by bolstering its logistics functions and restructuring its business locations, according to a statement.
This includes the sharing of facilities with the Nippon Express Group’s company Associated Global Systems Inc in order to meet the diverse needs of automotive-related and other customers for such incidental operations as repacking and inspections as well as cross-docking.
NE USA will place particular focus on upgrading its nationwide logistics functions serving the automotive and pharmaceutical industries, positioned as priority industries in the Nippon Express Group’s Corporate Strategy.
