Santos Brasil inaugurates new distribution center in São Paulo state

Santos Brasil is opening its second distribution center in São Bernardo do Campo (SP). Nicknamed “CD Imigrantes” due to its close proximity to the Imigrantes highway, the new space is close to the São Bernardo CD. Both are in strategic locations: very close to Santos and Guarujá and São Paulo, the largest consumer center in the country, which has excellent road access and easy access to the beltway.

According to Ricardo Buteri, Commercial Director of Santos Brasil, “the new CD will allow the expansion of our general-storage operations, serving a greater number of customers in the one-stop-shopping model – in which we transport the cargo from the port to the final destination, centralizing all logistics chain services into one single interface – and we take care of new customers who do not need a customs area, but who require customized logistics services, with the security and guarantee of the proven service of Santos Brasil ”.

With 7,376 m2 and space for 13,184 pallets, the new unit increases Santos Brasil’s general warehouse storage capacity by approximately 30%, expanding the offer of verticalized operations from port to door and the company’s performance in third-party logistics (3PL) operations.

CD Imigrantes is in a closed condominium. It has a laser-leveled floor, a ceiling height of 12 meters, 13 docks with graders, and a fire-fighting system with J4-category sprinklers. It is receiving state-of-the-art equipment, such as new pallet trucks and articulated forklifts, which can operate in narrower spaces, increasing the area’s productivity.

The warehouse management system (WMS) will integrate with the company’s two distribution centers. In addition, the logistics area system now has been upgraded with new features and more possibility of generating dashboards, with online visibility for customers and sophisticated reports.
