ProLogis leases 205,000 square feet to Nittsu Sinotrans

China - Nittsu Sinotrans Logistics Dalian LTD had leased about 205,000 square feet (19,000 square metres) from ProLogis, the world's largest owner, manager and developer of distribution facilities.

Nittsu Sinotrans was formed in 1992 by the joint venture between Sinotrans Liaoning Company, a subsidiary of logistics company Sinotrans, and global leader in logistics design, Nippon Express. The joint venture was formed to combine the specialties of the two organisations and allow them to expand their customer base in Dalian.

Nittsu Sinotrans will occupy space at ProLogis Park Dalian Free Port, providing third-party logistics and transportation services to leader in professional business and consumer imaging equipment and information systems Canon Inc.

"We are pleased Nittsu Sinotrans has selected ProLogis Park Dalian Free Port as its new distribution hub in the region," said Ming Mei, president for ProLogis in China. "This is a premier distribution site in northeastern China, especially with its close access to Dalian Free Port and proximity to markets in Korea and Japan."

ProLogis Park Dalian Free Port is strategically located; it is adjacent to the Dalian container yard and has easy access to two nearby expressways, Dalian's airport and central business district.
