In August 2020, DB Schenker inaugurated its Red Lion facility in Singapore, then its largest investment globally. Three years on, DB Schenker doubles down at the Red Lion2 ground-breaking ceremony, officiated by Singapore’s Acting Minister for Transport and Senior Minister of State for Finance, Mr Chee Hong Tat. DB Schenker is set to invest more than 101 million euros, surpassing its previous record investment at Red Lion, and is expected to be completed by the first half of 2025.
CEO for Asia Pacific, Dr Niklas Wilmking, added, “Red Lion2 is a testament to our commitment to Singapore and the Asia Pacific region. As part of our ever-growing logistics ecosystem, it is a vital, sustainable, and strategic hub for our customers and global network. We invest with clear intent to build resilience and scalability for our customers’ supply chains and drive digitalization, sustainability & network agility with ground-breaking and cutting-edge initiatives for the industry. We are pivoting towards the future for the region from right here in Singapore and for the rest of the world.”
Red Lion2 combines sustainability and innovation leadership into its Singapore masterplan at the Tampines LogisPark, with a sky bridge to connect Red Lion2 to its existing adjacent SLC3 facility. This makes DB Schenker the largest global 3PL (Third-Party Logistics service provider) not only in Tampines LogisPark but also in Airport Logistics Park of Singapore (ALPS) and Changi South Business Park, with over 16 locations and more than 3.97million square feet of operational footprint throughout Singapore.
Cluster CEO for Singapore and Malaysia, Mrs Catherine Soo, said, “Our teams collaborated closely with our customers and Singapore government agencies such as EDB and JTC to make this a reality. We have had to do things differently in designing and optimizing the space & workflow, which led to a first-ever sky bridge interconnecting our two facilities at Tampines LogisPark instead of conventional ramps at Red Lion2. Also, with the combined deployment of Solar Panels across our facilities here, Singapore’s largest solar-powered logistics facility generates more energy than consumed on-site. And it is amidst this vibrant environment that we feel is most suitable to foster more sustainable innovation by providing the space and culture to sandbox new ideas for the industry.”
Red Lion2 incorporates design and functionalities which accredits its LEED GOLD and LEED ZERO Carbon status, as well as Green Mark PLATINUM and Green Mark ZERO Energy certification. To embed innovation, a ‘sandbox’ area has been designed purposefully as an incubator to test-bed new ideas within the Red Lion2, which would help expedite feasibility trials in a live operating ecosystem.
