CONDE FERNANDEZ HNOS acquires a plot of 30000 m2 to improve its position as a logistics operator.
The company has acquired the plot in the Polígono Industrial Espíritu Santo (Sada), the same where it has its headquarters. The land is located within a development of the industrial estate as undeveloped industrial land, called APR-P.P Sector 16. The development aims to give continuity to the industrial estate, strategically located between Bergondo and Cambre.
This move is a response, in the medium term, to the growing demand for logistics activity from its customers, especially the food industry. Revenues from activities related to the storage and handling of palletised goods have increased by 51% compared to 2017, with expectations of growth for 2019. CONDE FERNANDEZ HERMANOS is looking for the logistics operator activity to have, in the future, a greater weight in its global volume of operations.
The company’s current network of warehouses, all of which are located within a radius of 6 kilometres, enables it to provide agile responses to customer demands in terms of speed and efficiency. The warehouses are:
- Polígono Industrial Espíritu Santo: 3500 square metres, in warehouses with a height of 10 metres. With flat surfaces and also with areas for shelving.
- Polígono Industrial de Bergondo: 1500 square metres, in two 10-metre high warehouses. Flat surfaces.
- Polígono Industrial Arcoiris: 2000 square metres, in two warehouses with a height of 6 metres. With flat surfaces and also with areas for shelving.
- Polígono Industrial de Piadela: 1000 square metres, in a warehouse with a height of 10 metres. With flat surfaces and also with areas for shelving.
All this network of storage areas is perfectly communicated, and allows very reduced times in the movement of vehicles. However, the intention is to further concentrate the areas of activity as a logistics operator.
What benefits do customers obtain from our logistics activity? Basically we can talk about:
- Cost reduction, through economies of scale and synergies.
- Reduction / elimination of product losses.
- It allows companies to focus on the development of their business, since the logistics operator carries out the operations that the company does not master.
On a national level, the economic recovery has boosted logistics activity. And almost no one is oblivious to the reality of e-commerce. In this sense, buyers are increasingly demanding in terms of the products they buy and also value factors such as delivery speed, stock availability and flexibility.
We operate in the road freight transport sector, covering both domestic and international routes and providing our customers with logistics solutions for warehousing and distribution.
