CPL’s 2 Million Square Foot Logistics Park Project in Jafza Running on Track
23.12.2009 Centre Point Logistics (CPL), part of the well-established Lootah Group, one of Dubai’s leading and diverse business conglomerates, is moving forward at a rapid pace on its multi-million dollar logistics complex project, under construction in Jafza South. The new facility is scheduled to be complete and fully operational by the end of 2011.This state-of-the-art logistics development, to be based on an “open architecture” model is expected to be the region’s first zero carbon logistics facility and it will be fully compliant to LEED Platinum rating specifications.
The complex on completion will consist of three buildings, fifteen 7,500 square metre chambers (16 metres high) and 200,000 square foot integrated office space. It will offer its clients a number of flexible warehousing operations ranging from leasing individual chambers both bare shell and fully equipped to full fledged 3PL services and supply chain management. Centre Point Logistics (CPL) will, however, start functioning at the completion of its first phase in the last quarter of 2010.
“CPL is keen to provide a new alternative in the region for warehousing and logistics solutions for all types of businesses - we are not limiting our business model on this investment to just providing 3pl services,” says Brent Pearson, the Managing Partner of Centre Point Logistics Group. “We aspire to evolve into one of the leading drivers of logistics business in Dubai and the region. The upcoming Logistics Complex in Jafza is our major step forward in that direction,” he added.
CPL Sensis’ supply chain management consultancy business offerings include supply chain re-engineering; web fulfillment and reporting; project management consulting, and providing fully trained onsite human resources support across all aspects of customers’ platform.
“We use our patented Supply Chain Snapshot to gain comprehensive overview of our customers business and associated logistics mechanism to review the entire chain and provide much more efficient process driven supply chain solutions. Our review process includes mapping of the actual time of our customer’s supply chain, the actual cost of logistics operations and cash flow map, which explains how working capital levels are impacted by their supply chain” Brent Pearson said.
He further added: “CPL’s flexible warehousing operations also offer the perfect opportunity to non-asset based organizations and 3PL companies who do not have warehousing facilities in the Middle East markets to enter the region with a reduced financial risk platform. The clients will also benefit from our ability to draw economies of scale advantages in transportation, labour, IT systems and other services and our ability to offer tried and tested partners and sub-contractors.”
