On October 16, the first session of the Lianshang Donglai President Class officially commenced in Xuchang. CEOs and general managers from 100 retail enterprises across the country and overseas gathered in Xuchang to deeply study Pangdonglai’s business philosophy and management philosophy. Led by Donglai Ge, they aim to promote benevolence in business and pursue a better path.
On the afternoon of the 16th, the President Class participants visited Pangdonglai’s headquarters, Employee Home, Angel City, and the Industrial Logistics Park. Donglai Ge led the team and provided comprehensive explanations throughout the visit, ensuring that participants could thoroughly understand and learn. Notably, this was the first time the Pangdonglai Industrial Logistics Park and its Central Kitchen, which began operations in June, were open for public tours.
The Pangdonglai Industrial Logistics Park is located at the south section of Xuzhou Road and the intersection of Xuyou East Road in Xuchang, covering an area of 150 acres with a total construction area of approximately 160,000 square meters. With a planned total investment of about 1.5 billion yuan, it officially began operations in October 2022.
The project integrates a logistics center, central kitchen, comprehensive office, product research and development, talent cultivation, employee entertainment and leisure, and the processing and distribution of retail end products. It aims to create an intelligent park of international first-class standards and quality. Currently, the logistics center and central kitchen are operational, while the employee leisure center building is still under construction.
The logistics center’s ambient temperature warehouse is an impressive steel jungle. It handles the receipt, storage, distribution, and delivery of daily necessities, beauty and personal care products, clothing, footwear, home appliances, and groceries. Supported by an intelligent management system and specialized handling equipment, the operations are orderly, smart, and efficient.
In the cold chain warehouse, all refrigeration equipment comes from top domestic and international brands, providing a safer storage environment for fresh and cold chain products. The freezing, refrigerated, and dry cold storage areas are set to different temperatures to protect various products such as vegetables, fruits, dried fruits, and wine. From the receiving dock to the shipping dock, cold chain products are kept at a constant temperature, ensuring reliable safety for customers.
The entire logistics center floor is made of highly dense diamond sand, providing excellent strength and stability. Additionally, the conspicuous yellow Konecranes elastic collision protection columns can absorb 80% of impact force, carefully protecting every corner of the warehouse.
In June 2023, the Central Kitchen of Pangdonglai Industrial Logistics Park officially began operations. The Central Kitchen has a total construction area of 34,000 square meters, divided into three floors, including a raw material receiving platform, finished product temporary storage, freezing and refrigeration storage, cold chain shipping platform, cooked food workshop, tofu workshop, bread workshop, cake workshop, frying workshop, Chinese pastry workshop, cold food workshop, food testing center, R&D center, and a comprehensive office area. It is equipped with leading international and domestic equipment and processes, creating a modern central kitchen focused on safety, health, quality, and professionalism.
Detailed information about the functions and features of various equipment, as well as the detailed process flows of various products, are posted along the corridors of each workshop, making everything clear and easy to understand.
The comprehensive office area includes a food testing center, product R&D center, talent training center, employee activity center, scenario display area, and DIY experience area. With top-notch hardware facilities, spacious and bright spaces, clean and tidy environments, orderly layouts, and attention to detail reflecting respect and care for employees, even the parking lot entrance for the logistics park features showers for truck drivers, embodying Pangdonglai’s “great love” cultural philosophy.
Donglai Ge stated, “We strive to make the Industrial Logistics Park a high-quality, high-tech, intelligent, and systematic model retail enterprise and commercial benchmark for everyone to learn from and reference. This will promote the development of the retail industry and other industries towards a better direction, making cities, society, and the world a better place!”
