Cougar to Operate and Manage Newly Established Central Distribution Center in Singapore

Logistics Insight Asia - Industry News, 4/12/2007

Cougar Express Logistics, a wholly owned subsidiary of Menlo Worldwide, has been appointed by Danfoss Group to establish, deploy and serve as its Asia Pacific Central Distribution Center (CDC) warehouse operator in Singapore.

The Danfoss CDC in Singapore will serve as an Asia Pacific warehousing and distribution hub for its worldwide suppliers and customers throughout the Asia Pacific region.

Under the new contract, Cougar will relocate Danfoss existing warehouse operations to a larger facility within Singapore that can cater to Danfoss regional growth. This occasion also earmarks an expansion of Cougar’s operational sites in Singapore with a new multi-client facility. The new site offers a total of 93,000 square-feet, of which Danfoss will occupy about 30 per cent in order to handle nearly 13,000 stock keeping units.

Cougar will provide Danfoss with an integrated package of logistics management services that include inbound receipt, inspection, inventory management, storage, order processing and logistics coordination for Danfoss industrial products. Cougar will continue to use its “flexibility-reliability” concept for Danfoss by providing productivity improvements, efficient layout design, process mapping and cost analysis, while incorporating quality standards within each phase of the implementation and ongoing operation. The reliability-flexibility concept is written into the new contract and its main focus is to proactively ensure that both Cougar and Danfoss can overcome peaks and seasonality on demand. The concept also will enable both parties to monitor staff capabilities, and performance on regular basis.
