Punjas unveils $55m Distribution Centre in Lautoka

Punjas has unveiled its new $55 million Distribution Centre in Lautoka which is set to become the largest warehouse in the Pacific, with a storage capacity of 24,000 pallets.

While visiting the facilities, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, Professor Biman Prasad says this new facility is a significant milestone not only for Punjas but for the entire Pacific region.

Professor Prasad says it will undoubtedly enhance the efficiency of regional supply chains and create new economic opportunities while strengthening Fiji’s position as a key player in the Pacific's growing market.

Professor Prasad also toured the corporate headquarters and the company’s biscuit manufacturing operations, which continue to innovate and support the company’s vast distribution network.

Punjas say this cutting-edge facility, currently under construction, underscores their commitment to enhancing its supply chain capabilities across Fiji and the broader Pacific region.

They say the Centre is a key part of the company's expansion strategy as it looks to meet growing demand for its food and non-food consumables, further solidifying its position as one of Fiji's largest privately owned enterprises.

They add that as they are gearing up for their 90th anniversary next year, they continue to thrive with over 1,500 employees.

Punjas also celebrated the expansion of the Punjas Medical Centre with a $2.25 million investment, providing critical healthcare support to the community.
