Mechanical Services Pte Limited will be creating 50 new employment opportunities upon the completion of its warehouse facility in Namaka Sub-division in Nadi.

This expansion project, will significantly enhance the company’s operational efficiency apart from creating new job opportunities for the community.

Managing Director of Mechanical Services Pte Limited Shiv Sharma says that they are thrilled about the development, which will not only enhance the company’s capabilities but also significantly contribute to the country’s infrastructure growth.

He added that the progress highlights their commitment to innovation and excellence, ultimately benefiting their clients and the broader community.

The new warehouse is said to be designed to prioritise the flow of goods and personnel as dedicated areas will be allocated for receiving shipments, storage, order picking, packing and shipping.

The facility will also have allocated space for administrative tasks such as inventory management, scheduling, and customer service.

“Mechanical Services has made a vast contribution to Fiji and its economy through its operations around the two major islands,” said Investment Fiji Chief Executive Officer, Kamal Chetty.

“This warehouse expansion is a testament to the growing demand for modern warehousing facilities in Fiji, which is a crucial component of the supply chain, being the hub for the storage, handling, and distribution of goods and services,” added Chetty.

“We are committed to facilitating such developments and fostering a thriving logistics sector within the country.”

The warehouse design will also take into consideration the environmental aspects to ensure better conditions for storing sensitive goods such as perishable items or chemicals.

The design of the warehouse will also allow for future growth and scalability by designing the layout with flexibility in mind, leaving space for additional storage capacity, equipment upgrades, or changes in operational needs.

Construction of the new warehouse is expected to be completed by September, 2024.
