KUALA LUMPUR: Nestle (Malaysia) Bhd has held a groundbreaking ceremony for its RM250mil integrated logistics hub in Port Klang, which forms part of the consumer group's plan to enhance supply chain efficiency and sustainability.
In a statement, Nestle Malaysia said the hub, which is expected to be fully operational by 1Q26, will facilitate the export of products and well as the sourcing of imported raw materials.
Nestle Malaysia is partnering Malconrep Depot (M) Sdn Bhd, a Malaysian-owned logistics company, in the development of the facility.
“The confidence that Nestlé Malaysia has placed in us allows for long-term planning and investment in smart warehousing infrastructure and a greener, more efficient logistics ecosystem,” said Malconrep Depot managing director Chan Sway Wah.
The hub will feature a modern warehouse and a container yard, leveraging economies of scale and digitalisation to optimise operations and better serve Nestlé’s expanding customer base.
It will incorporate cutting-edge technology and sustainable innovations, contributing also to reduce the environmental impact of Nestlé’s logistic operations.
"This exciting step forward for Nestlé Malaysia, in addition to driving future growth, underscores also our commitment to invest in Malaysia and marks the creation of a world-class logistics hub that will revolutionise our operations through advanced technology," said Nestle Malaysia CEO Juan Aranols.
