The establishment of the Gangneung Logistics Center was promoted to integrate the logistics operations that were separately managed by the Gangneung branch, Sokcho branch, and Gangneung direct store into one, thereby improving efficiency.

The Gangneung Logistics Center is equipped with facilities such as beverage and liquor storage warehouses, an empty bottle yard, and a liquor packaging workspace, and its location within 10 minutes of the Gangneung factory and Gangneung IC is an advantage. The Gangneung Logistics Center will serve as a regional hub in Gangwon for the stable supply of not only liquor products produced at the Gangneung factory, the main soju factory, but also beverage products. Lotte Chilsung Beverage is also considering a pilot operation of logistics transportation using autonomous vehicles between the Gangneung factory and the Gangneung Logistics Center.

Along with this, at the opening ceremony, Lotte Chilsung Beverage signed a business agreement with Gangneung City to revitalize Okgyegang Port. The plan is to diversify export product transportation routes to maritime paths to secure logistics competitiveness and economic efficiency while promoting regional mutual development. Through this agreement, Lotte Chilsung Beverage will expand the transportation means of products to Busan Port from the existing land route to a maritime route using Okgyegang Port. In the future, they also plan to consider simplifying logistics stages by opening a direct route to Japan via Okgyegang Port.

A Lotte Chilsung Beverage official said, "With the establishment of the Gangneung Logistics Center, we have streamlined logistics operations and built a stable supply chain. Additionally, the promotion of Okgyegang Port revitalization is expected to secure more diverse transportation routes and contribute to the revitalization of the Gangneung regional economy."
