3PL Panamericana, company dedicated to multimodal logistics in Venezuela, will be the first firm to establish in the PanAmerica Corporate Center (PCC) that is part of the Howard master development plan. London & Regional Panama (L&RP), master developer of the Special Economic Area Panama Pacifico, informed yesterday that they signed a contract for operations with 3PL. “The projected investment is of approximately 15 million dollars during the first phase, which will administer approximately 17 thousand pallet positions, within a completely automatic storage facility of the latest technology (Mecalux Thyssen),” said Patricia Cáceres, Executive Director of 3PL.

This multinational attends Pepsi, Hewlett Packard, Johnson & Johnson, Wyeth and Kraft, and will lease an area of more than 18 thousand square feet within the CCP. They chose Howard for its strategic locations and the fiscal incentives of the area, as well as the savings this facility represents to their costs. “Being south of the Canal, allows for an easier supply chain to the ports located in the Pacific, like Buenaventura (in Colombia) and Callao (in Peru). Also, it is more economic given that the ship will only have to transit the Canal once to provide these ports,” added Caceres. The PanAmerica Corporate Center is “one of the most strategic locations of the Panama Pacifico project,” said representatives of L&RP.
