Containers & Packaging
The warehouse and packaging transfer facility will provide ideal storage for rust-prone material such as sheet metal and wire spare parts. The facility will also be able to house furniture and provide for the long term storage of documentation.
The facility can cater for high volume ‘bulking up and loading’ storage to satisfy shipping needs, repacking, splitting and transfer of loads, labeling and marking products.
The N1 national road passing through Laingsburg creates the ideal opportunity for this facility. There is also an opportunity to expand the existing heavy vehicle maintenance facilities and have an upgraded truck stop to allow truckers to sleep-over and thereby try and lower the high accident rate.
