Cambridge Food
Johannesburg, South Africa
Cambridge Food is part of the Masscash division of Massmart, South African-based
subsidiary of Walmart.
The Cambridge Food distribution centre (DC) is the first in the
Masscash stable and part of a strategy by Masscash to drive efficiencies in growing its
Cambridge Food chain, which focuses on food retail in the lower end of the market.
The
number of Cambridge Food stores countrywide is set to increase from 25 to 100 by 2015. By
2016, the number of stores serviced from this DC will have increased to 50.
Cambridge Food chose Hyster and its South African distributor as materials handling
partners because they provided the best fit-for-purpose solution and also because
Cambridge Food was satisfied that it would receive the requisite levels of after-care service
through the local Hyster distribution partner.
