Mercedes-Benz opens new regional logistics centre in Johor
Mercedes-Benz has opened a new regional logistics centre in Senai, Johor, to enhance its after-sales services. Known as the Regional Logistics Centre Malaysia (RLCM), the new facility streamlines logistics across 20 countries in the Asia Pacific region.
The new facility spans over 1 million square feet and it is equipped with the stat-of-the-art systems designed to enhance material handling, flexibility, and workflow efficiency. To improve logistics efficiency, the RLCM implements technologies like an in-house warehouse management system, advanced forklifts, handheld scanners, and mobile workstations for greater flexibility. The Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) system has been adopted to maximise storage efficiency, optimising space utilisation within the facility.
Aligned with Mercedes-Benz’s global sustainability initiative, the facility aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2039, integrating environmentally sustainable practices to meet this goal. These efforts include generating renewable energy through an on-site photovoltaic (PV) system and earning Green Building Index (GBI) certification, reflecting the company’s dedication to minimising environmental impact and reducing its carbon footprint across the Asia-Pacific region.
In adherence to Mercedes-Benz’s Corporate Environmental and Energy Management policy, the facility focuses on reducing its CO2 footprint by closely monitoring energy consumption with installed meters and implementing countermeasures when necessary. Environmental data, including waste and water metrics, are collected, and reported in compliance with Mercedes-Benz AG’s Environmental, Social and Governance Reporting Standards (ESRS).
Chief Minister of Johor, YAB Dato’ Onn Hafiz Ghazi said, “Mercedes-Benz’s Regional Logistics Center Malaysia in Johor marks a significant milestone in our state’s economic development. This facility not only strengthens Johor’s role as a key logistics hub in Southeast Asia but also fosters talent development and provides valuable career opportunities for our people.”
Mercedes-Benz Parts Logistics Asia Pacific Sdn Bhd Chief Executive Officer, Jan Fischer said, “Our investment in Malaysia underscores our commitment to exceptional customer care throughout the Asia Pacific Region and highlights Malaysia’s strategic significance as a logistics hub. The new Regional Logistics Center Malaysia is one of Mercedes-Benz’s most important logistics projects in the past decade, reaffirming our dedication to Malaysia’s economic growth and sustainability. By leveraging Johor’s strategic location and strong infrastructure, this facility enhances operational efficiency while benefiting from Malaysia’s highly skilled workforce in logistics and supply chain management.”
