Panalpina Los Angeles more than doubles warehouse space

Panalpina Los Angeles has added an additional 42,000 square feet of warehouse space, further extending the company's portfolio of supply chain management services.

Built in 2000, the leased facility is equipped with a state-of-the-art inventory control program, a high value cargo cage and full security system with 24/7 closed circuit cameras throughout.

With the extension, Panalpina Los Angeles now has over 100,000 square feet of warehouse space, 27 dock doors and high-rise racking beneath the 32-foot ceiling.

“As companies are increasingly outsourcing all but core functions, this latest expansion in the crucial Southern California market is customer and market driven,” said Lucas Kuehner, USA managing director.

“Our Los Angeles business unit is gearing the new space to clientele that will most benefit from broader and more comprehensive supply chain involvement.

“In order to accommodate recent awards and proposed new business from existing customers in the hi-tech and couture industries, we realised that it made a lot of sense to secure the additional space, fitting it with mobile logistics racking and shelving.”
