MIQ LOGISTICS MOVES TO NEW VANCOUVER DISTRIBUTION CENTRE
New location meets growing need for company’s contract logistics expertise
TORONTO, May 3, 2011 – MIQ Logistics, formerly YRC Logistics, relocated its Vancouver distribution centre into a new facility at 16131 Blundell Road in Richmond, British Columbia. The new facility significantly increases the available space for contract logistics operations and can support client supply chains throughout Canada.
“In addition to more space, our new Vancouver site has the attributes which clients desire for keeping their supply chains nimble,” says John Carr, president and chief operating officer.
Carr explains that the building has 35 dock doors, which means trailers can be unloaded and loaded rapidly. Its location and nearness to major highways ensures easy access to container terminals in this strategic port city. The facility also features the latest in warehouse management and transportation management systems to assist clients.
The MIQ Logistics Vancouver distribution centre offers domestic Canadian distribution, local fleet delivery, national transportation management, cross-docking services, just-in-time manufacturing support, quality control verification, repackaging, and customized packaging.
