Safexpress has launched a modern logistics park in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, strategically located along the Chennai-Kolkata NH-16 in Savaragudem, Gannavaram Mandal, Krishna District. Spanning 3.5 lakh square feet, the facility is built to serve the growing warehousing and distribution needs of the region with advanced transshipment and 3PL (third-party logistics) capabilities.
Designed for operational efficiency, the logistics park features a cross-dock setup capable of handling over 100 vehicles simultaneously. Its column-free structure, with an 80-foot span, facilitates seamless goods movement, while 16-foot-wide cantilever sheds enable all-weather loading and unloading.
As the second-largest city in Andhra Pradesh, Vijayawada is a vital commercial hub with thriving sectors such as textiles, agro-processing, pharmaceuticals, and automobile body building. The city’s strategic location, strong transport links, and proximity to agricultural belts make it a prime center for trade and industry. Rapid growth in IT and construction sectors is further fueling its development.
Safexpress’ new facility aims to fill key infrastructure gaps and meet the region’s rising demand for reliable and efficient supply chain solutions. The logistics park is expected to significantly improve transit times and logistics support for businesses across Andhra Pradesh and neighboring states.
In line with sustainable development practices, the park features integrated rainwater harvesting, a dedicated green zone, ample use of natural daylight, and modern firefighting systems with trained personnel for safety.
With this launch, Safexpress continues to strengthen its logistics network, ensuring faster, greener, and more dependable freight services across India.

While tariffs under the Trump administration have rattled stock markets, weakened the U.S. dollar, and raised concerns about a slowing economy, not everyone is feeling the heat. For Excel Dryer, a leading global manufacturer of hand dryers based in Massachusetts, the trade war has brought unexpected advantages.
Chief Operating Officer William Gagnon remains optimistic, even enthusiastic. “The tariffs have actually worked in our favor,” he said, noting how the import taxes have helped U.S.-based manufacturers like Excel by making foreign competitors’ products more expensive.
In April, the Trump administration imposed sweeping new tariff, 125% on Chinese imports and announced “reciprocal” tariffs of 10% for 90 days on products from more than 75 other countries. These moves are part of a broader economic strategy aimed at pressuring trade partners while protecting American industries.
While these policies have sparked anxiety across many sectors and drawn criticism for their impact on global trade, companies like Excel Dryer are capitalizing on the shift. Domestic manufacturing is gaining new relevance as businesses weigh the rising costs of imports.
Meanwhile, Trump’s White House continues to push an aggressive political and economic agenda. His first 100 days have seen declining approval ratings, but his administration remains undeterred. From slashing federal agency jobs to launching legal battles over diversity policies at Harvard University including a push to revoke the school's tax-exempt status, Trump is pursuing his agenda with intensity.
Despite controversy and resistance, certain sectors of American industry, like Excel Dryer, are proving resilient and even thriving under the pressure of tariffs and shifting policy priorities.
