Schenker Magazines
Schenker Malaysia will officially open their seventh logistics facility at the Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP) in a few days. The new Schenker logistics facility is located within the Port, which is a Free Trade Zone and offers a wide variety of value-added services.
With 300 employees and warehouses in Kulim, Kuching, Melacca, KLIA, Subang Jaya USJ and Shah Alam with a total of 250,000 square feet, Schenker is already a leading integrated logistics provider in Malaysia. The company is mainly active in the automotive and high tech industry. With their just-in-time delivery concept for parts and spare parts, Schenker is servicing a number of production facilities in the country.
The Port of Tanjung Pelepas has become a success story for Malaysia. Schenker Malaysia will benefit from this strategic location as well. PTP is accessible via the North-South highway that connects Singapore through the second link in just a 30 minute drive. Soon modern highways are going to link it with Pasir Gudang and Senai Airport. Two major shipping lines (Maersk Sealand and Evergreen) provide worldwide transport connections.
“The active support of the PTP authorities has been excellent,” states Wolfgang Laabs, Managing Director of Schenker Malaysia Sdn. Bhd., adding that “We are more than confident that this new logistics facility will mean more efficiency, quality and speed for our customers, thus providing a competitive edge.”
With annual sales of Euro 6.4 billion, 35,000 employees and about 1,100 offices around the world, the Stinnes subsidiary Schenker is one of the world's leading providers of integrated logistics services, offering land transport, air and sea freight as well as comprehensive logistics solutions and global supply chain management from a single source.
