US sports brand Nike recently opened its largest distribution centre in Asia, the China Logistics Centre in Taicang, Jiangsu, China. The new 200,000 square metre facility is on target to be the first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Green Building Rating System (LEED) accredited warehouse complex in China.

“I am delighted to add the China Logistics Centre into our global distribution networks with the opportunity and commitment to stay closer to our Chinese consumers,” said Craig Cheek, vice president and general manager of Greater China for Nike. “The new China Logistics Centre represents Nike China’s commitment to doing business in the Greater China geography with environmentally-conscious practices. China is Nike’s second largest, single market and we continue to drive towards our goal of doubling our revenue here by 2015.”
