CVRD to build distribution center for Unilever
Bnamericas Published: Monday, June 06, 2005
Anglo-Dutch consumer goods giant Unilever will use the logistics expertise of Rio de Janeiro-based mining company CVRD (NYSE: RIO) to ship its goods in northeast Brazil, according to CVRD logistics director Mauro Dias. CVRD and Unilever signed a 25mn-real (US$10mn) deal to build a distribution center in Camaçari in the northeast state of Bahia. CVRD will ship some 8,000t of goods each month from São Paulo to the distribution center via the company's Centro-Atlântica railroad. "It is a new option open to the consumer goods sector, which has always depended on highways as its mode of transport," Dias told reporters. The center is expected to be completed in January 2006.
