Centro vows faster truck production, delivery service in the new normal

MANILA: Centro Manufacturing Corporation recently launched its Body Ready Program as part of its commitment to provide fast production and delivery service to its clients.

The truck body building company has observed how digital technology has emerged amid the COVID-19 pandemic, making consumers rely on instant gratification.

In a statement, Centro Senior Sales Manager Vic Belisario said, “Centro Manufacturing Corporation has risen to the call by developing special systems that enable us to deliver our products faster than industry standard while not sacrificing quality. By fine tuning our manufacturing process and strengthening our supply chain, we were able to drastically cut our delivery commitment time.”

“It all started with our brand-new wing vans, the product of our partnership with Nippon Fruehauf of Japan. It is now the leading brand-new wing van brand in the country. This is because by using Japanese technology, we are now able to assemble, install, and deliver a brand-new wing van body on retail basis in just five working days. But of course, for fleet or volume orders, a delivery timeline will be prepared with the first batch delivered after five working days,” Belisario added.

According to Belisario, those five working days have provided three extra weeks of earlier profitability for the logistics provider, compared to the normal one-month importation and fabrication of the wing vans. He said, “They make money sooner with less waiting time so everybody is happy.”

With the help of the Body Ready Program, the premium CVan aluminum vans now join Centro’s list of quick-delivered products. Belisario stated, “It now takes only seven working days to produce and deliver on a retail basis our standard 10-footer CVans to our customers. Once this was known in the market, customers started ordering. One customer from Apalit, Pampanga was very thankful he got his utility vehicle and aluminum van early and started earning with them immediately.”

He added, “Now, the latest quick-delivered product of Centro is the Japan-quality Cooltech ref van. Now that its high-tech extruded polystyrene sandwich panels are being locally produced at the new Centro Nippon Fruehauf Cooltech Inc. factory in Cavite, we can customize ref vans based on the body size, truck brand and model and ref system preferred by the customer. Using the Body Ready Program, we can produce, assemble and deliver on a retail basis our ref vans, all within seven working days,”.

To keep up with the fast-paced industry, Centro is making ways to produce and deliver its products within a shorter amount of time so that customers can utilize the products sooner and they can regain their investments faster. Centro believes that “speed to market” is every business needs in the new normal.
