Maersk reinforces its presence as a logistics integrator in Latin America with the inauguration of a 14,000 sqm fulfilment centre in the municipality of Funza in Colombia and a 3,500 sqm fulfilment centre in Panama, the second one located in Panama Pacifico logistics park.

A.P. Moller – Maersk  strengthens its presence in Latin America and the Caribbean with the inauguration of a 14,000 sqm fulfilment centre in Colombia and a 3,500 sqm fulfilment centre in Panama, consolidating its position as a global integrated logistics company by offering a greater connectivity to customers and simplifying their supply chains.

The new Maersk fulfilment centre was inaugurated with customers from the pharmaceutical and consumer products industry, who are already using the facilities. The centre is located in the ZOL Funza logistics project, 50 minutes from six of the main consumer market areas in Bogota.

The centre provides warehouse management system, cross-docking, and other value-added services, and includes lithium battery electrical equipment and LED lighting.

Maersk also inaugurated its second fulfilment centre in the Panama last August. Located in the Panama Pacifico logistic park, the site has 3,500 m2 of storage capacity. It is strategically located about 30 kilometres from the capital, and has direct access to the main highways, ports, and airports.

These new facilities take Maersk’s total footprint in the area to more than 180,000 m2 spread across 8 facilities in Central America, Andina and Caribbean. Maersk aims to better connect Latin America with the world by expanding its end-to-end warehouse and distribution footprint through rail, air, and regional consolidation/deconsolidation network with innovative solutions. To achieve our ambition, Maersk is working closely with customers in Latin America to better understand their priorities and to be able to offer them agile and higher value-added solutions.
