DB Schenker invests 41 million Euros in new 54,520 sq. m logistics facility in Singapore

DB Schenker Logistics will build a new integrated logistics center in Singapore. The facility, located at the Tampines LogisPark, close to Changi International Airport, will be a shared warehouse, for customers from various industries, such as Healthcare, Electronics, and Automotive. The 41 million Euros facility will have a gross floor area of approximately 54,520 square meters spread across three floors.

Earmarked to be awarded Green Mark Gold Plus, the new DB Schenker center will feature a composite wall panel as part of the building perimeter, providing highly effective thermal insulation.

A rainwater management system will contribute to enhanced water efficiency for landscape irrigation, while an efficient air-conditioning system will serve to minimize energy consumption and improve air flow distribution within the premises. These are some components of an integrated building management system designed to create a green and sustainable environment.

"This new facility represents our largest investment in the region to date and acknowledges the continued attractiveness of Singapore as a location to conduct logistics operations.

This facility is a key element of our Shared Logistics Center Strategy that will see many new sites developed across the Asia Pacific Region in the coming years," said Darren Wedding, Senior Vice President - Contract Logistics/SCM, Region Asia Pacific, DB Schenker.

DB Schenker is one of the leading providers of contract logistics and supply chain management solutions in Singapore, with a current warehousing capacity of more than 212,000 square meters. The new facility is expected to be completed in Q2 2014. < Korea Shipping Gazette >
