A strategic alliance between PKT Logistics (M) Sdn Bhd and Daiso Malaysia Group Sdn Bhd will drive operational efficiency at Daiso’s new RM1.2bil Global Distribution Centre (GDC) in Pulau Indah, Klang.
The two companies signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) during the launch of the facility by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Transport Minister Anthony Loke.
Under the agreement, the parties will assist each other in running the new hub while continuously improving operations to deliver long-term value.
The collaboration combines PKT’s expertise in Malaysian logistics with Daiso Malaysia’s forte in warehousing, distribution and retail operations.
PKT provides a range of logistics services including customs brokerage and trade facilitation, freight forwarding, warehousing and transportation services.
Daiso Malaysia handles storage, warehousing, retail, import, export and distribution of Daiso products, which include household items, cosmetics and general consumer goods.
Both companies expressed a shared commitment to building a foundation for cooperation, aligned with national policies and regulations.
The GDC features advanced Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) and smart logistics technology, which is designed to enhance warehousing and distribution efficiency.
Spanning 148,644sqm of land, including a 130,064sqm bonded warehouse, the facility will support Daiso’s export operations to 27 countries.
The site was also recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records (MBR) as the country’s largest global distribution centre.
Daiso Industries Co Ltd president and chief executive officer Seiji Yano said the facility marked a major milestone in the group’s global footprint.
Guests later toured the distribution centre to inspect its logistics infrastructure.
Also present at the launch were MBR CEO Christopher Wong and PKT Logistics chief executive and managing director Datuk Seri Michael Tio.
