Panalpina Adds Los Angeles Capacity

The Panalpina Group recently added 42,000 square feet of warehouse space to its supply chain management portfolio in the Los Angeles area. The expansion is expected to meet growing demand in southern California.

“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, U.S.A. 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 realized that it made a lot of sense to secure the additional space, fitting it with mobile logistics racking and shelving,” Kuehner said.
