Agility building up Malaysia presence

Agility has broken ground on a new logistics facility in Melaka, Malaysia, that will be open for business in September.


The new logistics centre will support a variety of industry sectors and will target the growing alternative renewable energy industries in Melaka. It will also provide a full range of vendor-managed inventory (VMI) and other logistics services to Agility’s customers in this sector.


“Agility is at the forefront of developing its logistics services for the renewable energy sector in Malaysia,” said Mike Gildea, Agility’s Southeast Asia CEO.


“Malaysia is a strategically important country for us and opening this facility is another example of our long-term commitment.”


The new 11,890 sqm hub will incorporate the latest energy saving technology and has been designed to meet the latest ecological standards, to include maximising the use of natural light to reduce energy costs.


The hub will be TAPA certified and will have 10 loading docks, a full staging area and will be able to handle both dangerous and non-dangerous goods.
