Logistics major Crown Worldwide has opened its third owned facility in India, located in Ramasandra, Bengaluru. This expansion comes as India emerges as one of the Crown’s top five markets globally, contributing 10% of the company’s worldwide revenue. The new facility will enable Crown to expand into specialised services, including custom bonded warehousing, temperature-controlled wine and spirit storage, and cold storage chambers for healthcare and other temperature-sensitive products.
“Marking this milestone in the same year as Crown’s 60th anniversary makes it even more special,” said Jim Thompson, Founder and Chairman of Crown Worldwide Group. “It reflects both our history and our confidence in the future.”
Jennifer Harvey, Group CEO of Crown Worldwide Group, emphasised the strategic importance of the Indian market: “India is one of the fastest-growing markets for our clients and for Crown. The opening of this facility represents an important milestone in our global expansion strategy. It positions us to provide next-generation physical storage and digital information management solutions to customers as they continue to grow in this thriving region.”
Advanced storage & information management
The new facility has been designed with Information Management as its primary focus, spanning over 57,000 square feet and featuring multi-tier racks capable of storing more than 900,000 cartons. Beyond its current capabilities, the facility lays the foundation for future-ready services, including custom bonded warehousing, temperature-controlled storage for wine and spirits, and cold storage chambers for healthcare and other temperature-sensitive products.
Tze Shen Kong, CEO Asia at Crown Worldwide Group, highlighted the regional benefits: “Bengaluru strengthens our regional footprint significantly. It allows us to serve South Asia with greater scale and efficiency, positioning us for continued growth in this dynamic market.”
