Companies can realise significant productivity boosts and cost savings from optimising their supply chains. While in the past warehouses were mainly places to store products, innovative businesses now take a more holistic approach and align their warehouses with their brand image and social/environmental responsibility targets.In Taiwan, multinational companies have traditionally had difficulties finding suitable warehousing facilities. Taiwan's geography and high density makes it difficult to develop large and efficient warehouses and logistics property competes for land with manufacturing facilities, which have long been the preferred use of land. As a result, a large majority of existing warehouses are of inadequate size, poor quality or even illegal. Thus, strong opportunities exist to enhance the quality of Taiwan's warehouse stock and to align it with global standards. In his presentation, our guest speaker will draw on his extensive experience in logistics, construction, design, engineering and management to give advice on how to find and secure the best quality and affordable logistics property in Taiwan.
