In order to meet the growing demand from pharmaceutical and cosmetic companies that choose Uruguay as their regional distribution center, Costa Oriental is preparing to expand the area dedicated to such effects.
With this extension the pharma area will reach 56,000 sq ft, of which 27,000 sq ft will be temperature controlled (59 to 77°F) and three cold rooms of 5.381 sq ft.
The growth will allow 2,000 positions for pallets and a picking area for 3,500 skus, with 1,800 positions in controlled temperature and 180 positions in cold storage. In addition, a system with floodgates for entry and exit of merchandise is planned.
