Hyundai Glovis Secures Major Logistics Hubs on US East and West Coasts

Strengthening North American Supply Chain Responsiveness Through Expansion of Local Production

Hyundai Glovis has established large-scale logistics hubs on both the East and West Coasts of the United States, expanding its logistics operations base in North America. This is a proactive strategy to build logistics infrastructure ahead of Hyundai Motor Group’s planned increase in local production.

On April 15, Glovis announced that it has opened an integrated logistics center in Los Angeles, California, and a consolidated warehouse in Savannah, Georgia. The LA integrated logistics center spans approximately 12,000 square meters (equivalent to two soccer fields) and is located in downtown LA, about 25 minutes by car from both the Port of Long Beach and the airport. This makes it an optimal location for multi-modal transportation operations that combine sea and air logistics.

The company plans to integrate transshipment, air freight, storage, and distribution services, while also strengthening its in-house inland transportation capabilities. In particular, it expects to significantly improve its ability to handle urgent cargo and achieve more flexible cost management, even amid market fluctuations, thereby enhancing its competitiveness in responding to customer needs.

By establishing logistics infrastructure in the western region, Glovis aims to provide end-to-end (E2E) logistics services, covering everything from storage to delivery. The company also plans to increase supply chain responsiveness through the integration of air and sea operations. This center is expected to serve as a key hub overseeing comprehensive logistics in the western region.

Additionally, Glovis has built a consolidated warehouse in Savannah, Georgia, on the East Coast. This production-linked logistics hub is designed to handle increased cargo volume resulting from the operation of Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America (HMGMA), as well as to reliably manage shipments from non-affiliated clients in the surrounding area. The facility covers approximately 69,000 square meters (equivalent to ten soccer fields) and will function as an integrated logistics center that centrally manages production and supply volumes.

A Glovis official stated, "We are continuously expanding logistics infrastructure in key East and West Coast hubs in the United States to proactively respond to the rapidly changing global supply chain environment," adding, "Based on logistics competitiveness centered on our local hubs, we will continue to flexibly respond to the diverse needs of global clients."
