RK Logistics expands services for Silicon Valley companies 26 September 2017

RK Logistics is expanding its operations, with the opening of a new 4,645 m2 distribution centre in Fremont, CA, US. The new warehouse, which will provide specialised inventory management, fulfilment and expedited plant delivery services for Silicon Valley companies, increases RK’s network to 14 supply chain operations in the greater San Francisco Bay Area, representing over 74,320 m2 of logistics and distribution capacity.

The advanced logistics facility has been purpose-designed to serve the strict quality and delivery requirements of the Bay Area’s high-tech and automotive manufacturing industries, as well as medical device, high-value engineered building products and just-in-time retail replenishment.

Services at the new facility include secured warehousing and inventory management for parts, components and finished goods; inventory optimisation, order picking and fulfilment; and light manufacturing such as pre-assembly and kitting. The site will also support RK’s specialised transportation programmes for sequencing parts into Lean production lines at automotive and technology equipment factories, as well as just-in-time (JIT) deliveries to construction sites.

While the Company already has some clients signed up for the new facility, they have capacity for new customers as well. In addition, the facility at 41049 Boyce Road in Fremont is hiring for positions, including warehouse associates, supervisors and material handling equipment operators.
