SingPost injects $30m to expand e-commerce logistics hub capacity

This will enable the facility to handle 400,000 parcels per day.

Singapore Post Limited (SingPost) will expand its eCommerce processing capacity with a $30m investment in its Regional eCommerce Logistics Hub (eComm LogHub) facility.

The investment will install new sorting equipment that can process up to 300,000 small parcels per day at the eComm LogHub, up from the present 100,000.

Combined with the larger parcel processing capacity added during the $182m renovation in 2016, the new small-parcel sorting equipment on the third floor will increase the eComm LogHub's e-commerce processing capacity to approximately 400,000 parcels per day.

The facility also features a warehouse on the second floor, 150 simultaneous loading bays, and an office block.

“The investment in capacity building not only enhances operational efficiency but unlocks a pathway for growth. By leveraging our infrastructure, SingPost could play the role of an industry consolidator, opening our historically closed networks to partnerships or undertaking services for other parties in the industry,” Simon Israel, chairman of the board at SingPost said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
