Nestled within the Cornubia Ridge Logistics Park in the rapidly expanding Cornubia precinct in Durban , the Dromex facility enjoys a prime location with unparalleled logistical advantages . Situated in the heart of the eThekwini municipality , this industrial hub offers proximity to major transportation networks , including the bustling business district of uMhlanga , King Shaka International Airport , and the Dube Tradeport . The facility benefits from easy access to key highways such as the N2 and M41 , making it a strategic hub for regional and national distribution .

The Cornubia Ridge Logistics Park is a state-of-the-art logistics park which provides 24-hour manned security , central fire tanks offering fire safety , and all the utilities that big operations require . The eastern side of the park , where Dromex is located , has fantastic exposure to the N2 which offers significant branding and visibility opportunities for the tenant .
The Dromex site is designed with operational efficiency in mind , featuring a dedicated truck entrance , a 40m concrete hardstand for seamless truck movement , and an optimised traffic flow with a truck exit on the opposite end and separate access points for staff and visitors .
SITE PLAN
The vision for the Dromex facility was clear : to create a modern , technologically advanced distribution centre integrated with functional office spaces
