A mul­ti-hun­dred-mil­lion-dol­lar in­vest­ment by Massy Dis­tri­b­u­tion to build a new high-tech lo­gis­tics hub at Or­ange Grove will dou­ble the com­pa­ny’s dis­tri­b­u­tion ca­pac­i­ty in T&T, ac­cord­ing to CEO James McLetchie.

The 230,000-square-foot ware­house, of­fi­cial­ly opened yes­ter­day, rep­re­sents one of the largest lo­gis­tics in­vest­ments by the pri­vate sec­tor in re­cent years and in­tro­duces ro­bot­ics and ar­ti­fi­cial in­tel­li­gence in­to large-scale ware­hous­ing in the Eng­lish-speak­ing Caribbean.

McLetchie ex­plained that the fa­cil­i­ty re­quired a cou­ple of hun­dred mil­lion TT dol­lars in in­vest­ment and forms part of a wider push to mod­ernise dis­tri­b­u­tion and strength­en the group’s re­gion­al lo­gis­tics net­work.
