KUALA LUMPUR, March 18 -- Nippon Express (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, a local subsidiary of Nippon Express Co Ltd has completed construction of the Shah Alam Logistics Center at the Shah Alam Industrial Park in Selangor.
Having begun operations on March 9, the centre is Nippon Express Group's most extensive single-structure multifunctional logistics warehouse outside of Japan.
According to a statement, the location is near key consumption areas and an international seaport and airport are leveraged to meet a full range of logistics needs.
Its bonded warehouse functions enable non-resident inventory to be stored, allowing the centre to serve as a hub for Asia and the Middle East.
The centre plans to obtain halal certification in anticipation of future growth in the Muslim population, forecasting to exceed one-fourth of the world's total population by 2030, and a consequent expansion of the global halal market.
Accordingly, an area for ritually cleansing trucks and cargo containers has been established within the facility.
In addition, the centre intends to obtain certification for Good Distribution Practice, standards for proper distribution of pharmaceutical products.
A rise in Malaysia's national income has driven remarkable growth in personal consumption, and the increased distribution of consumer goods has led to expectations of growing needs for more sophisticated domestic logistics and warehousing services.
