Container specialist launches national chain of warehouse depots

After a two-year bedding-in and marketing programme, customs-licensed container depot specialists, CHC Resources, has just officially launched its national chain of warehouse depots to the industry. The company specialises in warehousing, distribution and consolidated cargo, offering bonded stores, SOS stores and food grade warehousing, with full-scale premises in Durban, Johannesburg, Cape Town and Port Elizabeth. In Durban, the company is based in Prospecton where the 30 000-sqm premises have just undergone a R9-million renovation. In Johannesburg, its 25 000- sqm warehouse facility is in Pomona, and in Cape Town, the 5 000-sqm premises are in Paarden Eiland. As a result of growth, CHC is looking to upgrade this facility to a 14 000-sqm warehouse in Montague Gardens. In a recent move, the company successfully expanded its operation to Port Elizabeth, operating from a 5 000-sqm warehouse in Algoa Bay. Said CHC’s Dianne Cockcroft, “We believe that our success is due to the huge investment made not just in infrastructure, security and IT systems, but also in people.”
