KUALA LUMPUR: Daiso Malaysia Group Sdn Bhd has invested nearly RM1bil in a new global distribution centre (GDC) development in Pulau Indah, Klang.
The group recently held a groundbreaking ceremony for its new GDC in Pulau Indah, marking the start of construction for Daiso's new facility.
Daiso Industries Co Ltd president and CEO Seiji Yano said the new GDC is expected to commence operation in January 2027 and targets to serve 22 countries and regions worldwide.
Meanwhile, Daiso Malaysia chairman Tan Sri Mohd Khairul Adib Abd Rahman said the facility will play a crucial role in supporting its growing operations and meeting the needs of our customers worldwide.
“And with Port Klang’s plan to double its container handling capacity in the future, together with the automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) to be implemented in our new GDC, we expect to see optimised logistical processes and reduction of lead time,” he said.
