COPENHAGEN : A.P. Moller – Maersk (Maersk) partners with Global Key Partner PUMA to operate the first semi-automated omnichannel fulfilment distribution centre in Santiago de Chile. The warehouse and distribution solution will provide PUMA with end-to-end visibility from its factories in Asia Pacific region to its distribution centre in Chile, including middle mile.

We would like to thank PUMA for trusting us on supplying the first semi-automated omnichannel fulfilment solution in Latin America. This partnership is an important step towards our commitment to our integrator global logistics strategy, offering Puma unparalleled flexibility in inventory management across diverse regions. The solution is crafted to adeptly handle shifts in demand, facilitating the acceleration, deceleration, or redirection of inventory, as necessary.
