Printcare has chosen ALP West Logistics Park as the site for their upcoming manufacturing and packing plant in Kenya.
Scheduled to commence operations in April 2024, the facility aligns with strict EU compliance standards.
This announcement is coming at a time when the demand for top-tier warehouses in Africa presently outweighs the supply, according to Knight Frank’s quarterly report, The Africa Industrial Market Dashboards.
The trend has seen a consistent 80 per cent occupancy rate of Kenya’s purpose-built facilities, covering for gaps across the continent, in countries like Nigeria, where a shortfall of 300,000m2 exists.y
The surge in interest from prominent global players solidifies the park’s reputation as the preferred hub for state-of-the-art warehousing and logistics solutions in the region.
The park's strategic location, coupled with its modern infrastructure and unparalleled services, further positions it as the go-to destination for businesses seeking efficient and cutting-edge logistics solutions.
The location was selected by Printcare for its infrastructure and commitment to upholding international standards.
This dedication encompasses health and safety regulations, environmental sustainability, quality assurances, and the provision of a secure working environment, crucial for global market operations.
"We chose ALP West Logistics Park for its strategic location and commitment to international quality construction, aligning perfectly with our stringent EU compliance requirements,'' Printcare Packaging East Africa Limited director Prashantha Dias said.
He added that ALP's strategic positioning and dedication to maintaining top-tier infrastructure suit the firm's global operational needs.
"This decision empowers us to establish a cutting-edge facility in Kenya, ensuring efficient operations while meeting the highest international benchmarks.''
Printcare’s partnership with ALP signifies a landmark collaboration, leveraging ALP's grade A warehouse facilities to enhance Printcare's operational capabilities in the East African market.
Richard Hough, CEO at Africa Logistics Properties said the collaboration emphasizes ALP's dedication to facilitating global-standard infrastructure and fostering economic growth in the region.
"The selection of our park by a globally recognised company like Printcare underlines the quality and strategic advantages our facilities offer," Hough said.
"ALP remains dedicated to surpassing compliance criteria, ensuring our partners operate at the highest international standards."
