DB Schenker expands SE Asia presence in Malaysia

Germany-based logistics company DB Schenker has expanded its fifth Southeast-Asian logistics center in Malaysia’s Johor state, following the recent launch of two similar facilities in Shah Alam, Malaysia.

The 224,000-square-foot facility, located in the Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP) Free Trade Zone, is now in operation, offering clients warehousing, temperature-controlled and ambient storage, distribution and value-added services. It has a total storage capacity of 27,000 pallet positions.

Located fewer than 25 miles away from the Port of Singapore Authority, the Schenker facility has access to Senai International Airport (JHB), and is about 40 miles away from Changi International Airport (SIN) in Singapore, which should be appealing to customers that utilize both air and sea carriers.

We will be discussing the trans-Pacific trade lane at Cargo Facts Symposium on 10-12 October. For more information, or to register, visit www.cargofactssymposium.com.
