DHL Supply Chain Malaysia has expanded its logistics footprint with the launch of South Region Hub 2 at Senai Airport City, Johor, reinforcing the area’s position as a key industrial and supply chain node in the region.
This new facility follows the successful rollout of South Region Hub 1, which began operations in April 2025 and has already reached full occupancy, driven largely by high-technology multinational corporations. Hub 1 also serves as DHL’s regional Control Tower, offering centralized coordination, real-time supply chain visibility, and multi-country monitoring across Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand — a capability that supports increasingly complex regional supply chains.
According to Senai Airport City and DHL, the Control Tower enables data-driven operational decisions and improves efficiency for advanced manufacturing and technology-focused businesses operating across borders.
Senai Airport City chief executive officer Gan Seng Keong said the back-to-back development of Hub 1 and Hub 2 demonstrates the natural multiplier effect of a well-planned industrial ecosystem. The integrated approach continues to attract logistics players, manufacturers, and global investors, contributing to broader economic growth in Johor.
The newly completed Hub 2 covers approximately 18,660 square metres and was delivered within a year of its groundbreaking in April 2025. The facility is already fully occupied by investors based in Senai Airport City and is purpose-built to support industrial operations, logistics activities, and technology-driven supply chains.
In line with sustainability goals, the hub incorporates solar panels, energy-efficient LED lighting, and rainwater harvesting systems, supporting DHL’s environmental commitments and Senai Airport City’s low-carbon development strategy.
The launch event was attended by senior leaders from DHL Supply Chain Southeast Asia and Malaysia, representatives from Senai Airport City, and key investors including Wiwynn, Shenghuabo, and Mercedes-Benz.
Senai Airport City Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of MMC Group, is the master developer of the 2,718-acre integrated industrial development located within Iskandar Malaysia. The zone offers strategic connectivity to major expressways, seaports, Senai International Airport, and close access to Singapore’s Changi Airport.
Designed around a “Plug-and-Play” industrial model, the development provides ready infrastructure such as power supply, water, natural gas, and telecommunications. It also includes a 400-acre gazetted Free Zone, catering to export-oriented manufacturers and regional distribution hubs.
While this development highlights Johor’s growing industrial appeal, similar demand trends are increasingly visible in industrial land in Selangor, factories in Puchong, industrial property in the Subang area, and commercial property in KL, where logistics efficiency, infrastructure readiness, and proximity to talent remain key decision drivers. Office-linked industrial developments, including office space in Bukit Jalil, are also gaining traction among technology and supply-chain-driven occupiers.
Globally, DHL operates in over 220 countries and territories, employing approximately 400,000 people, and provides services ranging from parcel delivery and e-commerce fulfilment to air, sea, road transport, and integrated industrial supply chain solutions.
