REL: 1105 HRS Auckland International Airport Limited
GENERAL: AIA: AIAL Now home to yet another world leading business
The Panalpina Group, one of the world's leading providers of supply chain
solutions, is the latest in a string of global companies to join Auckland
Airport's rapidly expanding Business District.
Operating a global network with over 500 offices in more than 80 countries,
and employing 15,000 people worldwide, Panalpina World Transport is set to
move into their new premises in the Auckland Airport Business District
mid-next year.
Peter Alexander, Auckland Airport General Manager Property, says the decision
by Panalpina World Transport to move to The District follows on from a number
of global companies who have also recently chosen to base themselves at
Auckland Airport.
"We are thrilled to welcome Panalpina World Transport to The District," says
Mr Alexander. "What we are seeing is more and more global companies making
the move to this area because of the proximity we can provide for them in
terms of their clients and customers within New Zealand and also abroad."
"This connectivity, combined with the scale of amenities we have on offer
here, as well as the security and flexibility that The District provides,
means we have a very attractive place for businesses to choose to relocate
too - evidenced by the continual growth of The District and the number of
businesses that have recently moved here."
The Panalpina Group will move into a newly designed and built warehouse and
office facility on Joseph Hammond Drive, with the development fronting to
George Bolt Memorial Drive, the main road to the Airport. The facility will
be Panalpina's head office in New Zealand, comprising a 3,000 square metre
warehouse and a 600 square metre office.
Chris Marks, Panalpina Country Manager New Zealand, says the Airport Business
District offered the company opportunities that other locations could not
provide. "We are delighted to be relocating to a purpose built facility
which will better support our integrated logistics solutions to both existing
and prospective customers."
"The Auckland Airport Business District offers an excellent location with
flexibility for future expansion to support our growth plans. The selected
site will also provide Panalpina in New Zealand an opportunity to promote our
global brand," finishes Mr Marks.
