Rhenus Warehousing Solutions South Africa addresses the demand for warehouse space in KwaZulu-Natal

One of the leading globally operating logistics service-providers Rhenus Group has launched a new storage warehouse in Durban, South Africa. This strategic addition expands the Rhenus warehousing space to more than 24,000 square metres, strengthening its local capabilities significantly and creating new jobs.

The new Rhenus facility measures 7,700 square metres – growing the company’s warehousing capacity in Durban by more than 50 percent in just two years. This facility plays an integral role in serving the Port of Durban, which handles 32 percent of all South Africa’s ships. The additional premises are set to attract new clients from various industry sectors – including ones that Rhenus currently services like automotive, healthcare and food and beverages.

The warehouse is strategically located at Northfield Business Park in the north of Durban, just 21 kilometres from the King Shaka International Airport and 24 kilometres from the Durban Container Terminal.

The facility offers a range of solutions such as loading and offloading, packing, cross-docking, picking, as well as the capability of handling food graded items. With its new cross-dock area, the warehouse boasts high efficiency and quick loading and unloading turnaround times.

According to Kishore Kanayelal, Regional Director KwaZulu-Natal at Rhenus South Africa, increased demand for warehouse space, as well as more service offerings, have been driving strong growth. With KwaZulu-Natal having experienced many challenging circumstances, the launch of a new warehouse comes as welcome relief to a community in need of good news.

“We are proud that we have created more than a hundred new jobs to service the demand in our area. These additional 7,700 square metres strengthen our local capabilities significantly,” Kishore Kanayelal explains.

The offering of cross-docking means more efficient goods handling, reduced labour costs and accelerated delivery times – which are real benefits to Rhenus clients. “The launch of this new warehouse marks an exciting time for us as a business. It showcases our commitment to delivering innovative solutions that meet our clients’ transport and warehousing needs,” concludes Kishore Kanayelal.

By this expansion, Rhenus Warehousing Solutions is enlarging its portfolio of individual solutions and value-added services for the South African automotive, healthcare, food, and beverages sector.
