GEODIS, a global logistics provider, and L-Acoustics opened their new regional distribution centre in Singapore. The distribution centre, the first for L-Acoustics in the Asia Pacific region, is designed to cater for the growing market in APAC countries.
All L-Acoustics solutions are manufactured in Europe and prior to the opening of the Singapore distribution centre, orders for customers in the Asia Pacific region had to be fulfilled from France. The new centre will allow the company to better support clients throughout the region, shortening delivery times and streamlining the supply chain.
“Our mission is to strengthen our ties with clients, creating a hub from which we can provide ideal support,” explained Tim Zhou, CEO APAC, L-Acoustics. “The new warehouse will enable elevated customer service and faster delivery for their important projects.”
L-Acoustics and GEODIS have grown a global partnership which began in 2018 when GEODIS was trusted with the distribution of the manufacturer’s products in France and Europe, with GEODIS providing L-Acoustics with global end-to-end logistics solutions covering freight, and customs and trade compliance management.
The choice to partner with GEODIS for the launch of a new distribution centre in Singapore stems from the company’s track record in setting up bonded warehouses which demand licensed storage facilities with robust security measures, skilled personnel and operational capabilities aligned with local customs regulations. The Singapore distribution centre is a bonded/zero-GST (Goods and Services Tax — GST) facility.
Hervé Guillaume, CEO at L-Acoustics Group, said: “Today marks a pivotal moment for L-Acoustics as we expand our regional logistics hub network with the help of our partner GEODIS, aiming to bring our customers the same level of service worldwide. The foundation of our relationship with GEODIS is built on a shared spirit of innovation and performance, and a people-first mindset. Together, we champion hyper-care for our partners throughout all our operations.”
