Banfi Vintners Resumes Shipments From Chile
Banfi Vintners, an importer of wines from Chile and Argentina, has confirmed that shipments will resume from the port of San Antonio, Chile effective from March 11, 2010.
The Gori facility forms the hub of Banfi’s logistics network in South America. The company said that this serves as a consolidation point for US shipments and maintains a reserve inventory designed to eliminate shipping delays and out-of-stocks. Current estimates indicate that up to 80% of goods in the warehouse remain undamaged and ready for dispatch.
Marc Goodrich, executive VP and COO of Banfi Vintners, said: Our San Antonio warehouse, operated by Giorgio Gori, resumed full operation this weekend.
A complete inventory will be finalized today and containers loaded with wines from Trivento, Emiliana and Concha y Toro are being moved to the stacking area for shipment on the first vessel to set sail from San Antonio on March 11. Additionally, the wineries have resumed production and goods will be arriving at our facility starting today.
Mr Goodrich also confirmed that four large shipments of wine, totaling around 200,000 cases, departed San Antonio in February and are due to arrive in the US shortly. Additionally, another 75,000 staged at the port for shipment are undamaged and await dispatch to vessels.
Those goods, and inventory currently maintained in Banfi’s US distribution network, will insure proper supply of product while the wineries ramp back up to full capacity.
