Driver Logistics Opens 80,000 Sq Ft Hub in Vizag
Visakhapatnam has added a new logistics facility with Driver Logistics launching an 80,000-square-foot Mother Hub warehouse for ATC Tires AP Pvt. Ltd., a Yokohama Group company. The facility is designed to support tyre storage, inventory management and distribution for domestic and export markets.
The development strengthens the logistics network serving Visakhapatnam’s manufacturing sector, particularly the tyre manufacturing operations around Atchutapuram.
What Will the New Logistics Hub Do?
The Mother Hub will store and distribute Yokohama passenger car tyres and off-highway tyre brands, including ALLIANCE, GALAXY and PRIMEX.
These off-highway tyres serve sectors such as agriculture, construction, industry and forestry. The warehouse is designed to support large-volume storage and dispatch operations.
Its logistics activities include:
Transport from factories to the warehouse
Storage and inventory management
Full truckload and part truckload movements
Distribution to domestic markets
Support for export shipments
The facility brings several stages of tyre distribution together within a central logistics operation.
How Does the Hub Connect to Visakhapatnam’s Industrial Corridor?
The warehouse is located to serve ATC Tires AP’s manufacturing operations in the Atchutapuram industrial area near Visakhapatnam.
Having storage infrastructure close to manufacturing can help coordinate the movement of products between the factory and warehouse. The location also provides access to Visakhapatnam’s port infrastructure, which supports the movement of goods towards international markets.
For businesses operating in the region, the connection between manufacturing, warehousing, road transport and port facilities is an important part of supply-chain planning.
Technology for Inventory and Distribution
Driver Logistics says the facility uses integrated Transport Management Systems (TMS) and SAP/ERP connectivity.
These systems support inventory visibility and coordination across storage, dispatch and transportation activities. Digital tracking can help logistics teams monitor stock movements and organise shipments more efficiently.
The company has positioned the facility as part of its broader effort to develop connected logistics and supply-chain services in India.
What Does This Mean for Visakhapatnam?
Visakhapatnam’s industrial ecosystem includes manufacturing facilities, road transport networks and port-linked trade. Warehousing capacity serving manufacturers can help connect production with regional distribution and export operations.
The new Mother Hub adds another logistics facility supporting the tyre supply chain in Andhra Pradesh. Its impact will depend on actual operating volumes, distribution demand and how effectively the warehouse integrates with manufacturing and transport operations.
For Visakhapatnam, the development highlights the role of logistics infrastructure in supporting industrial activity and the movement of goods through India’s eastern coastal region.
