The warehouse is equipped with a modern warehouse management system, fully equipped loading and unloading docks and the relevant warehouse and conveyor technology are being used to put items into storage and take them out again quickly. The warehouse fully complies with the latest global standards for health, safety and the environment (HSE). Sustainability is also very important for Rhenus in India: building features such as solar panels and rainwater recycling are helping to boost the climate friendliness of the new facility. The logistics specialist is also gradually equipping other business sites with solar panels in order to make the future of logistics more sustainable on the subcontinent.
Rhenus India is focussing on chemical logistics with its specialist facilities and a customer base consisting of chemicals companies that operate in the international market. Covestro, a leading manufacturer of high-tech polymer materials, which has its headquarters in Leverkusen in Germany, is also putting its faith in the tailor-made solutions and the flexible working methods at Bhiwandi. Covestro develops intermediate products for polyurethane foams, varnishes, adhesives and sealants at 50 production sites around the world, for example. Anand Srinivasan, the Managing Director of Covestro India, describes the partnership with Rhenus in this way. “We’ve grown thanks to and together with Rhenus. Rhenus clearly focuses on HSE, adopts a process-oriented approach to its work and precisely understands the requirements of our customers. As a long-standing customer, we’d like to thank Rhenus for its work in the past and we’re looking forward to an even closer partnership in future.”
“Thanks to having our state-of-the-art warehouse at the heart of the logistics centre of Mumbai, we’re catering for the increasing need for individual warehouse solutions for our customers in India and we’re therefore boosting our own growth too. Rhenus not only provides innovative hardware, but offers other benefits to its customers: not least, our specially trained, experienced team makes us the preferred logistics partner locally,” says Vivek Arya, the Managing Director of Rhenus India.
Rhenus Warehousing Solutions India has 31 business sites and total warehouse space measuring more than 230,000 sqm in India and is continuing to grow.
