20Cube Logistics Expands Malaysia Distribution Center to 250K SQ FT of Storage to Support Asia Pacific Region

Offshore Hub Status Enables Free Movement of Goods and Ease of Operations, and Distribution Center Program Improves Supply Chain Efficiency Through On-Demand Inventory Replenishment

CRYSTAL BAY, Nev & SINGAPORE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–20Cube Logistics Pte. Ltd. (�20Cube”), a Singapore-based software-enabled international supply chain orchestrator, today announced the expansion of its Distribution Center located in the Port Klang Free Zone (“PKFZ”) in Selangor D.E, Malaysia to now include 250,000 square feet of storage to support off-shore warehousing for the Asia Pacific region, with a focus on Australian customers.

The 20Cube Port Klang Malaysia Distribution Center serves as a major hub for customers throughout Southeast Asia, Australia, India, China, and the Middle East. The Company has capitalized on its advantages and expertise in the region to build solid trade lanes between these countries with dedicated weekly space contracts from all operators. It offers a unique Off-shore Pick and Pack solution to multiple Australian customers through Port Klang Malaysia Distribution Centers. It includes B2B and B2C order fulfillment for Australian clients who in turn distribute their products to a wide range of their customers in Australia and worldwide.

Facilities now include a 50,000 square foot non-bonded warehousing within Port Klang to support domestic customers, 20,000 square feet of separate light industrial units for handling slow-moving cargo within the Port Klang Free Zone, and an expansion of its raised floor cross-dock facility from 120,000 square feet to 250,000 square feet, with 20,000 pallet positions of storage.

“Our Port Klang Malaysia operations offer significant cost, supply chain and logistics advantages to our Australian customers,” said John McNally, Chief Executive Officer of 20Cube Logistics Australia. “The PKFZ is outside the customs clearance territory, but within the port premises, working as an offshore hub and easing operations. This allows for the free movement of goods without much interference from customs, and for the goods to be stored without paying any duty and only paid for those that are moved out.

“The PKFZ also works as the main Distribution Center from where pick-and-pack operations ensure direct-to-store (DTS) delivery and saves more than 20% of the supply chain costs. The DC bypass program improves supply chain efficiency through on-demand inventory replenishment. With the DC program, the frequency of cargo flow is managed with ease and allows sourcing lower quantities more often from multiple suppliers. The hub also provides innovative logistics solutions engineered to ensure direct-to-store distribution, decreasing the need for intermediary freight resulting in indirect cost savings. As well, multi-country consolidation of goods simplifies order complexity and saves on costs.”

Richard Mallon, Director – Business Development of 20Cube Logistics Australia, added, “20Cube Malaysia benefits our Australian customers by combining warehousing solutions with offshore capabilities. We offer complete digitized services with the MyHubPlus digital customer portal, where customers have end-to-end visibility from purchase orders to proof of delivery as well as uninterrupted shipment movement from one international destination to another.”

“This new expansion represents our ongoing growth in the Asia Pacific region, leveraging the significant advantages we can offer Australian and other customers shipping through our Distribution Center in Malaysia,” said 20Cube Chief Executive Officer and Founder Mahesh Niruttan. “We continue to position 20Cube as a service provider with innovative supply chain solutions, optimizing our supply chain, lead time and cost to deliver. We believe the expansion is of substantial commercial and strategic value and will enable us to increase our potential customer base and expand into new markets.”
