Berlin/Essen/Manila - DB Schenker in the Philippines recently inaugurated a new central facility in Manila.

The new facility provides 2,400 square meters of office space for the corporate office and accomodates the teams for air and ocean freight, customs clearance, special projects and contract logistics. A total of around 450 employees are now based at the new location.

The new facility enables orders to be processed faster and allows throughgoing supply chain solutions. Internal processes have also been streamlined. “Our goal is to be the No. 1 logistics provider in this country. By concentrating our forces at the new location, we are one step closer to achieving this goal,“ said Reiner Allgeier, Managing Director, Schenker Philippines, Inc. “The new facility will also allow us to deliver even more punctually than before and further improve our service quality.“

“Manila is a key hub in the global network operated by DB Schenker Logistics,” said Dr. Thomas C. Lieb, Chairman of the Management Board of Schenker AG and responsible for global air and ocean freight. “Particularly for customers in the consumer electronics sector, we intend to further expand our network of locations, primarily in the Asia/Pacific region.“

The building includes close to 1,000 square meters of space for cross-docking operations. Adjacent to the 5,000 square meter open yard is an area dedicated to project logistics. The complex also includes seven warehouses with a total of around 18,000 square meters of storage area and 8,500 pallet positions, where logistics services are provided for industrial customers in the fields of healthcare, semiconductors and telecommunications.

Environmental aspects were taken into account during the construction of the new facility. DB Schenker in the Philippines is the first logistics provider to use a new paint for its facility that converts air pollutants such as nitrogen and sulfur oxides into unharmful compounds using a catalytic process.
