SingPost injects $30m to expand e-commerce logistics hub capacity

This will enable the facility to handle 400,000 parcels per day.

Singapore Post Limited (SingPost) will expand its eCommerce processing capacity with a $30m investment in its Regional eCommerce Logistics Hub (eComm LogHub) facility.

The investment will install new sorting equipment that can process up to 300,000 small parcels per day at the eComm LogHub, up from the present 100,000.

Combined with the larger parcel processing capacity added during the $182m renovation in 2016, the new small-parcel sorting equipment on the third floor will increase the eComm LogHub's e-commerce processing capacity to approximately 400,000 parcels per day.

The facility also features a warehouse on the second floor, 150 simultaneous loading bays, and an office block.

“The investment in capacity building not only enhances operational efficiency but unlocks a pathway for growth. By leveraging our infrastructure, SingPost could play the role of an industry consolidator, opening our historically closed networks to partnerships or undertaking services for other parties in the industry,” Simon Israel, chairman of the board at SingPost said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
