The new facility, which will cover around 23,200 square meters, will provide a wide range of services including warehousing, fulfilment, and container freight station operations. The warehousing and fulfilment services will involve inventory management, kitting, labelling, order management, compliance inspections, return programs, transportation management, pick-and-pack services, and quality control.

The facility is expected to begin operations in February 2025.
