CJ Logistics Launches Anseong MP Hub Dedicated to Small Parcel Handling

Second MP Hub in Icheon... Size of Two Soccer Fields

CJ Logistics announced on the 12th that it will operate the Anseong MP (Multi Point - a place where small products are gathered and packaged) hub terminal in Gyeonggi Province. The company has introduced an automated small product sorting system, marking the second MP hub terminal after Icheon. The facility covers an area of 12,000㎡ (approximately 3,600 pyeong), equivalent to two soccer fields, and can process 2 million small products per day.

MP is an automated facility that sorts small products collected nationwide by region. CJ Logistics was the first in the industry to introduce this system in 2019. Small products account for more than 75% of the company's total volume.

The company explained that the MP hub terminal is characterized by high efficiency. Through the MP installed at sub-terminals, small products destined for the same region are bundled into sacks of 20 to 25 items and sent to the MP hub terminal. After sorting, they are sent back to the sub-terminals in the final delivery area.

The convenience and productivity of loading and unloading operations have also improved. Unlike in the past, when products had to be visually identified regardless of size, with the introduction of MP, only products of other sizes besides small products need to be manually loaded and unloaded. Additionally, with the simultaneous operation of the existing automated sorter wheel sorter and the MP, work time is reduced and sorting accuracy is enhanced. Medium and large products are automatically sorted by the wheel sorter, while small products are sorted by the MP.

The existing Icheon MP hub terminal will handle non-metropolitan areas, while the Anseong MP hub terminal will cover the metropolitan area.

Choi Woo-seok, head of CJ Logistics' O-NE Headquarters, stated, “The MP, first introduced by CJ Logistics in the industry, is a system that has revolutionized the work productivity of the explosively increasing small products.” He added, “Through proactive and bold investments, we will build a ‘super-gap logistics’ infrastructure and further solidify our position as a market-leading company.”
