Warehousing services
Our global footprint and extensive network mean we have facilities ready to handle your supply chain needs, whether at origin or destination. By combining shipping with warehousing and distribution, you benefit from a seamless end-to-end solution with fewer logistic service providers. Complexity is reduced, and you gain speed, control and visibility.
Consolidation centres
A warehouse perfectly placed and connected to your sourcing areas can combine materials and goods pre-export, helping you optimise your landside movements and container loads. Our portfolio comprises bonded and non-bonded warehouses, facilities located within free trade zones, and others near or within ports for easy transfer to ship.
We offer domestic, regional and international consolidation, including multi-country consolidation. Offered at several international hubs, including our major East-West transshipment hub at Tanjung Pelepas in Malaysia, these facilities offer multi-country consolidation and a host of product value-added services, within the free trade zone.
Deconsolidation centres
When your cargo arrives at its destination market, keep your goods flowing through the supply chain without missing a beat. Many of our facilities are ideally situated close to key ocean ports for major shipping routes, allowing faster throughput of your cargo.
Our deconsolidation solutions have multiple service offerings depending on where your cargo needs to go – straight transload, building consignments direct to distribution centres (DC) or final destinations.
Our facilities also offer pit-stop solutions: late localisation with a wide range of value-added services, all supported by our industry-leading Warehouse Management System. When flexibility to minimise go to market efforts matters, our services can offer you a competitive advantage. For example, quality controls, re-packing, returns management and product disposal.

Technology and Automation
Our warehousing solutions are underpinned by investment in technology, automation and robotics. We are steadily expanding our fleet of automated guided vehicles (AGVs), automated sorters and hybrid systems, all of which deliver improved picking and sorting efficiencies.
All this is supported by our best-in-class Warehouse Management System, providing you with integration capabilities, visibility and improved accuracy, allowing you to be agile and respond quickly to any events in the supply chain.
Distribution services
For a seamless fulfilment solution, combine order processing with distribution services to handle the next leg of your supply chain. We can handle product deliveries via Full Truckload (FTL), Less-than-Truckload (LTL) or parcels to suit your requirements, whether that’s to DCs, wholesalers, shops or your end-consumers.
What do Distribution services include?
Truck loads
Full Truckload (FTL)
Benefit from economies of scale and productivity when shipments are large enough to require the use of an entire truck. Reduce transit time by direct deliveries to their final destination and avoid cargo having to be handled enroute.
Less-than-Truckload (LTL)
Take advantage from the transportation of relatively small freight at a fraction of the cost of hiring an entire truck for an exclusive shipment.
Parcel delivery
When speed, individualization and specialization of delivery services matters, parcel delivery becomes the most optimal transportation mode.
