Mr. Lê Duy Hiệp, General Director of Transimex Joint Stock Company, said that the "Long An Cold Storage" project is funded by Long An Investment Company Limited (Subsidiary of Transimex Joint Stock Company) with a total Investment capital of about 1,000 billion VND. The project is a multi-temperature cold storage system that ranges from -25 degrees Celsius to +18-20 degrees Celsius, suitable for storing all types of goods that require specific temperature preservation. The warehouse can preserve many items from consumer foods to export items such as fruits, agricultural and seafood products.

With this hefty investment, this is slated to be the largest and most modern cold storage warehouse in Vietnam and the surrounding region. The premises are set to include a fully automated cold storage area containing 40,000 pallets and designed with 18 storeys of shelves, a Semi-automatic refrigerated warehouse holding 15,000 pallets, a goods handling area including preliminary processing, packaging, classification, etc., fully complying with food hygiene and safety standards, environmental protection, and local regulations.

All warehouse operating technology is automated (ASRS) and  imported from Europe and G7 countries, with access speeds reaching 200 pallets/hour. The company has also selected reputable construction contractors in Vietnam and reputable suppliers of machinery and equipment in the world and the region to ensure high quality construction as well as compliance with construction regulations applying to the Industrial Park of Long An province.

Furthermore, the project is also investing in a rooftop solar power system to be used after the project’s completion. This shows that investors are rightfully and consciously implementing policies aimed at increasing the use of renewable energy and contributing to environmental protection, which overlaps with Transimex Group’s endeavors to implement “Green Logistics” as its own business policy.
