DHL Supply Chain, the global leader in contract logistics, announced the inauguration of its first warehouse in southern Malaysia. The South Region Hub, a EUR 5.2 million investment, will add 10,000 square meters of warehouse space to DHL Supply Chain’s existing portfolio of 236,000 square meters in Malaysia. The facility’s construction will be undertaken by local developer Eastern Group and is expected to be ready by Q1 2025.
Strategically located in the Free Trade Zone of Senai Airport City, the South Region Hub is a mere 10 minutes away from the North-South Expressway and Senai International Airport, enabling faster delivery times. This also marks a strategic step to fulfil the soaring demand for warehousing from sectors including automotive, technology, cloud business and data centre, as DHL Supply Chain grows its business presence in Southern Malaysia.
Mario Lorenz, Managing Director of DHL Supply Chain Malaysia, said, “With the launch of the South Region Hub as our 24th facility in Malaysia, we are looking to elevate logistics standards in the Southern region and beyond. This investment reflects our confidence in Johor’s potential as an epicentre for regional distribution. Positioned at a prime location, our Hub will establish new benchmarks in efficiency and sustainable logistics solutions.”
As part of DHL Supply Chain’s global sustainability commitment, the South Region Hub will be a carbon-neutral operation with facilities such as solar panels, smart LED lighting and rainwater harvesting solutions.
The launch of the South Region Hub forms part of DHL Supply Chain’s strategy to invest EUR350 million in Southeast Asia over the next four years, with EUR131 million allocated specifically for Malaysia. This investment will expand DHL Supply Chain’s warehousing capacity, workforce, and sustainability initiatives in the country. Additionally, DHL Supply Chain is set to open three more facilities across Malaysia—two in Penang and one in the Central region.
