SUPPLY CHAIN based in Kenya , the country of Abhishek ’ s birth . It is currently investing more than $ 5 million in an integrated warehousing facility there , with an eye on the fast-moving consumer goods ( FMCG ) market and for existing customers in the UAE that would like to set up a hub in East Africa . He believes there is a defined need in East Africa for 3PL and outsourced logistics , and also identifies an opportunity in India for the expertise that RSA has developed in hydrocarbon logistics . By 2018 he would like to see a thriving business established both in Kenya and on the subcontinent of India .
Though the company has budgeted to spend a further $ 55 million over the next three years in improving and extending its Dubai chemical and petrochemical facilities and on taking its cold storage facilities to the next level , it will also be developing its work in what he calls ‘ on-site logistics ’ – managing the assets of clients to improve the inventory management systems within their own facilities and allowing them to more effectively fulfil their orders and manage their supply chain .
Asked about the reasons for the success of the company to date he identifies the people , and the efforts they have put into training and policy alignment . “ Everyone is now on the same page , and getting behind our vision for the business , adopting lean principles and going the extra mile for the customers and their colleagues .”
