Distribution Centres
Cipla has two distribution centers in Cape
Town, one in Durbanville (4
000m²) and the other in
Atlas Gardens (5 500m²)
where all stock is handled, from picking to shipping.
- 30 million units picked, packed, invoiced and
shipped every year
- 3 600 000 kilograms shipped each
year
- 42 000 consignments sent each year
A dedicated team of 60 employees work day and
night to ensure customers are supplied with product on time -
whatever it takes. The teamwork amongst the distribution centre
teams is phenomenal. This team spirit was also reflected when
staff decided to form a soccer team called Cipla United in 2009.
They still compete in a league against various other corporate
teams. Last year they ended top of the log in their division.
"We don't even have to exercise much as running around at
work keeps us fit!" says team manager Isgaak Majiet. At an annual
awards ceremony individuals within the team are recognised and
rewarded for hard work and special effort.
