KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 25 -- Nippon Express USA Inc (NE USA), a local subsidiary of Nippon Express Co Ltd has recently relocated its principal location for West Coast ocean cargo transport and warehousing operations from Torrance to Long Beach, both in California.
The new location in Long Beach, part of the Los Angeles metropolitan area, opened for business in January, according to a statement from Nippon Express Co Ltd.
Reflecting the robust US economy, the Port of Los Angeles area has been seeing a sharp rise across the board in warehouse demand. NE USA’s previous location comprised three buildings on the same site.
However, the new location will use a single high-ceilinged building in the interest of greater storage and operational efficiency.
This consolidation of locations with a Nippon Express Group company, Associated Global Systems Inc, is expected to produce considerable synergy by efficiently integrating the trunk transport of cargo to/from Los Angeles.
The new site in Long Beach sits alongside the Port of Los Angeles' ‘Heavy Container Corridor’, a roadway on which overweight container loads can be transported without special authorisation.
NE USA will be seeking to take advantage of this siting to step up its business efforts in the transport of large plant equipment and other heavy haulage as well as various transloading operations and to acquire new forwarding business.
