Tru-Cape favours City Deep because of its central location
Category Industrial Property News
City Deep continues to be an important location for the development of industries in the bustling Johannesburg. The area is attributed to having one of the largest dry ports in Africa. The industrial node is also famous for the fact that it has some of the oldest and most established markets in the country including the Johannesburg Market which focuses solely on fresh produce and has become famous throughout Johannesburg and South Africa.
This is precisely why it isn't surprising that Tru-Cape one of Africa's largest apple and pear companies has a 4,000m² depot in City Deep. This is according to Tracy Hancock who writes for Creamer Media's Engineering News.
The actual produce is grown in various locations around the Western Cape such as Elgin, Grabouw, and Ceres. Their marketing offices are situated in Somerset West, not far from the second largest South African city, Cape Town with their Johannesburg offices being located in 39 Bonsmara Road, City Deep. According to the article, this major fruit producer opened the depot in this location because these certain type of fruits just don't grow in the Northern areas of the country and its closer to other distribution locations in various parts of sub-Saharan Africa, enabling them to access these locations easier by being in a more centrally located part of the country.
"The facility was needed as an integral part of Tru-Cape's distribution. "To receive orders in Johannesburg from the Cape and have them delivered in a short space of time is very difficult, but if we have stock here, we can meet our clients' demand [timeously]," Graaff highlighted". -Tracy Hancock -http://www.engineeringnews.co.za
