CEVA Logistics has opened a multi-user facility in Penang, Malaysia.

According to CEVA, the new 70,000-square-foot facility is located within the Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone Phase IV and is only 10 minutes away from Penang International Airport and 10 minutes from the Penang Bridge, which connects the island to mainland Malaysia.

“CEVA continues to invest in its customer needs in Malaysia, and this new facility which has doubled our footprint in Penang will continue to support our growth needs and positions us for future expansion in the market,” said Elaine Low, executive vice president of Southeast Asia at CEVA. “With its strategic location in the northern part of Malaysia, coupled with the air cargo hub at Bayan Lepas airport, it aims to cater to a wide range of logistics and warehousing services and  offer even greater value and benefits to our customers.”

The new warehouse delivers cost efficiency and flexibility through an optimized layout design and improved infrastructure to serve customers. It includes a combination of temperature-controlled and ambient storage space, office space for in-plant customers, materials-handling equipment, an RF warehouse management system and customs stationed on-site to facilitate on-time clearance.

The facility is also an integrated hub that will house the contract logistics and freight management teams for Malaysia under one roof, as well as the global supply chain solutions control tower teams who support the largest customers globally 24/7, according to CEVA.
