Asante Completes Acquisition of Former Crossley Carpet Factory Expanding its All-in-One Logistic Solutions for Manufacturers

TRURO, NS, Nov. 5, 2020 /CNW/ - Asante Logistic Group ("Asante"), Nova Scotia's first all-in-one logistic solutions provider offering Warehousing, Freight Forwarding, Export and Import services all under one roof, is pleased to announce that it has acquired the former Crossley Carpet factory.  The 367,311 square foot warehouse and distribution center significantly expands Asante's ability to offer its all-in-one logistic solutions to clients in the manufacturing sector.

Asante has seen record demand for its unique logistic solutions business model.  "Since inception, we have offered the full gamut of logistic services to our customers whereby the alternative is to deal with several third-party service providers to fulfill all of their warehousing, freight forwarding, export and import brokerage needs" said Dr. Ernest Asante Korankye, President and C.E.O., "Our customers tell us time-and-time again that Asante operates as an extension to their business. For most of our customers we operate as their own warehousing and distribution center as we are quickly able to respond to material handling requests and we provide one point of contact for all their logistics".   

Under normal times, the manufacturing sector must deal with the consistent pressure of efficiently getting their products to market. Even greater challenges exist for these manufacturers during the coronavirus pandemic.  What makes Asante Logistic Group unique? Jason Steele, V.P. of Business Development, says "The uniqueness of Asante's logistic solutions comes down to one very simple point of differentiation. Our business model helps to decrease internal stress levels for manufacturers; especially for those experiencing high growth or bottlenecks with supply and demand. Who couldn't benefit from less stress in our current business environment?"
