DHL Opens Second Logistics Hub in Senai Airport City as Johor Demand Accelerates

DHL South Region Hub 2 in Senai Airport City Free Zone.

 DHL Supply Chain Malaysia has commenced operations at its second logistics facility in Senai Airport City since Jan 20.

The new Malaysia South Region Hub 2, located within the Senai Airport City Free Zone, marked DHL's second major logistics investment in Johor.

This follows the opening of South Region Hub 1 in April last year, which has since reached full occupancy by multinational high-technology companies.

DHL said the latest facility, completed within a year of its last April groundbreaking, expanded its capacity to support advanced manufacturing and technology-driven supply chains operating in southern Malaysia and the wider region.

Spanning 18,660 square metres, the hub is fully occupied by key investors within Senai Airport City, to fulfil strong demand for integrated logistics infrastructure as companies seek proximity to air, sea and land transport networks.

South Region Hub 1 houses DHL's regional control tower, that provides centralised coordination, real-time end-to-end visibility and multi-country supply chain monitoring across Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.

DHL said Hub 2 incorporated sustainability features including solar panels, smart LED lighting and rainwater harvesting systems, in line with the group's global sustainability commitments and Senai Airport City's low-carbon development objectives.

The opening ceremony was attended by DHL Supply Chain Southeast Asia chief executive officer Edwin Wong, DHL Supply Chain Malaysia managing director Mario Lorenz, Senai Airport City representatives and major investors operating within the zone.

The sequential development of DHL's two hubs reflected the multiplier effect of Senai Airport City's integrated industrial ecosystem, which continues to attract logistics-led investments and strengthen Johor's position as a key gateway for regional trade.
