To keep up with growing demand for humidity-controlled warehousing in Vietnam, specialized furniture carrier and international 3PL provider Zenith Global Logistics has expanded its Ho Chi Minh City facility.
Dehumidifiers enable Zenith Global Logistics to control the humidity in its Ho Chi Minh City warehouse.
"Vietnam has continued to be a key geographic market for furniture sourcing as a result of continued labor shortages in China," said Jack Hawn, Zenith president and CEO. "We've had increasing numbers of customers come to us with a need for humidity-controlled storage. Because of the ambient climate in the region, controlling moisture levels is critical to prevent mold growth and warping of wood."
The new bonded warehouse space is about 75,000 square feet and is in the Bình D??ng Province, a growing manufacturing region for furniture. The distribution center offers high clearance with specialized racking designed for home furnishings.
Officials said the facility has capacity for new customers, with the ability to expand based on each customer's market volume needs. The Ho Chi Minh City distribution center houses freight destined for Zenith Global Logistics' U.S. network, including its freight hubs in California, North Carolina and Texas, as well as direct-to-customer locations.
