Essex Marine had been operating its cold storage facility under the brand “DE SENS COLDSTORE” on a rental basis to various frozen product companies, wherein cold chain logistics requirements were serviced through third-party logistics providers. Now, company has commenced integrated cold chain logistics operations under the same brand, marking a strategic transition from a rental-based cold storage model to a fully integrated, end-to-end cold chain solutions platform.
As part of the initial phase of implementation:
- The company proposes to lease four refrigerated vehicles, and
- Purchase one 12-ton refrigerated truck
The company also proposes to expand its cold chain logistics operations into the North-Eastern region of India, commencing with Siliguri, followed by Guwahati, thereby strengthening its regional distribution footprint.
