Atlas Copco builds new distribution center in China

Stockholm, Sweden, September 15, 2010: Today marks the start of Atlas
Copco's construction of a new distribution center in China. The
facility, located in Nanjing, will strengthen the distribution of parts
and consumables in South East Asia.

The construction of the 4 000 square meter facility, with the option to
extend with a further 4 000 square meters, follows the strategy to
strengthen Atlas Copco´s customer support in the South East Asia region.
Customers will benefit from improvements in storage and shipping
capabilities for spare parts and consumables.
“The new distribution center shows our strong commitment to customers in
the region, and is another step in our ambition to strongly develop the
business and continue to be the customers' first choice,” says Björn
Rosengren, Business Area President Atlas Copco Construction and Mining
Technique.
The distribution center will supply spare parts and consumables for the
Construction and Mining business area. The location of the distribution
center is selected because of the logistical possibilities provided by
the city of Nanjing, as well the proximity to the Groups production in
the area. The total investment for establishing the Distribution Center
is approximately MCNY 50 (MSEK 53).
