The company’s main warehousing
facilities are in Antwerp, Belgium, which will be extended by an
additional 15,000 m2 in 2004.
Chemitex also has other warehouses in Barcelona, Spain, and Porto,
Portugal, with an average stock level of 14,000 tons to ensure just-in-time
deliveries to its clients.
Every day, 30 truckloads of yarn and fabric leave the company’s
warehouses.
Having such extensive stocks ensures that all deliveries can be
made in 48 – 72 hours, and reduces the necessity for clients
to maintain large stocks of their own.
It also means that Chemitex can anticipate sudden surges in demand
while guaranteeing the continuity of supply essential for the smooth
running of its clients’ businesses.
