Mercedes-Benz’s new after-sales logistics centre in Malaysia to open in 2024

KUALA LUMPUR: Mercedes-Benz is set to establish a new regional after-sales logistics center in Malaysia. It has finalized the planning as well as signed a long-term lease agreement for the location i.e. Senai Airport City in Johor Bahru. The new facility is expected to start operation in 2024. 

For the development of the after-sales logistics center, the German automaker teamed up with developer Tiong Nam Logistics Solutions Sdn Bhd. It will lead the development of the location and will be the owner of the new warehouse. Spread across 1,000,000 square feet, the warehouse will be equipped with the latest storage and material-handling systems.

“With our planned After-Sales Logistics Center, Mercedes-Benz is committed and will invest to strengthen our foothold in Malaysia. We have found excellent conditions and great support in cooperation with MIDA and the related ministries. Located strategically in Johor Bahru, this new After-Sales Logistics Center will enable us to reaffirm our position as a global and regional distribution hub whilst creating new jobs for the region” said Thomas Schulz, Vice President Global Service & Parts Operations.

“Both our customers and our dealer networks will enjoy a good service and high-quality standards through this new infrastructure,” he added.

The new facility will handle the import, storage, and regional management of spare parts and accessories. As a part of Daimler AG’s global after-sales supply chain network, it will serve as a distribution site for spare parts in the Asia Pacific region and other countries. 

A  100% subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz AG, “Mercedes Benz Parts Logistics Asia Pacific (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd” will operate this After-Sales Logistics Center in the country.
