Decathlon sets up shop

[photopress:Decathlon_sports_shop_1.jpg,full,alignright]AMB Property has leased more than half the AMB Jiuting Distribution Center in Shanghai, to Decathlon. This is a global designer, manufacturer and retailer of sporting goods headquartered in France. (Note the spelling of the name. It is very easy to get it wrong and spell it ‘Decathalon’which is the Olympics sport.) Decathlon has 374 stores throughout Europe, Asia and South America and operates its dedicated logistics division in the recently developed distribution complex which is Jiuting Distribution Center.

Guy Jaquier, AMB’s president, Europe & Asia, said, ‘China is Decathlon’s retail entry into Asia, and we are proud that they rely on the efficiency of AMB facilities as part of their Asia logistics operations. The delivery of the right product, to the right place, at the right time is a key component of Decathlon’s commitment to retail customers.’

AMB Jiuting Distribution Center is near Hongqiao Airport.
