Located on the outskirts of New Delhi in India, this new logistics center is designed to support the Group's growth in this high-potential market. The spare parts stocked in this warehouse will be dedicated to the maintenance of machines manufactured at the Group's Indian plant, also located in Greater Noida. They will be shipped mainly to Asia, but also to South America and Africa, where Indian-made compact track loaders, telehandlers and backhoe loaders are distributed.
The new logistics center has quadrupled in size to over 8,300 m², enabling us to ship 90,000 order lines a year at maximum capacity. To ensure this daily quality of service, 40 employees will work in shifts at the new facility. Launched in January 2023, the project was completed in
less than a year, as Pierre-Yves Malgogne, Vice President of the Spare Parts Business Unit, is delighted to report: "This new logistics center will enable us to continue improving the service we provide to our customers in this region, where the Group has great ambitions. This warehouse will also benefit from the process and flow management standards already in place in our other logistics centers, to optimize the safety of our employees and carriers".
As a reminder, Manitou Group has 8 logistics centers around the world to make spare parts available to all its customers. Providing high value-added services is one of the pillars of the Group's development.
