CEVA Logistics, one of the world’s leading supply chain management companies, yesterday (6 November) announced the opening of its expanded airfreight facility located in Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) vicinity in Malaysia, as part of the company’s commitment to strengthen its airfreight operations and better serve its customers.
The 1,300m2 facility, containing warehouse and office space, is located within the KLIA Cargo Village, enabling CEVA to maximise the close proximity to business activity and airport connections within Malaysia and with other countries, the firm said in a press release.
This expanded facility is CEVA’s nerve centre in Kuala Lumpur for all airfreight-related operations, including export, import, warehousing, customs brokerage, ground transportation, breakbulk and other value added activities, well supported by over 40 full-time employees, the statement said.
“We are very excited to be able to expand our facility in KLIA with a brand new office and warehouse," said Tom Kennicutt, CEVA’s managing director for Malaysia said. "This new facility speaks of a strong commitment to enhance our airfreight services for our customers and we aim to extend our footprint further with new customers, locally and overseas.
"This is an important step for CEVA in Malaysia as we continue to build on our strengths in airfreight and in our integrated capabilities as an end-to-end 3PL provider."
The new office and warehouse facility was officially opened on 30 October 2012 by CEVA’s executive vice president for South East Asia, Loo Seng Tak, CEVA’s managing director for Malaysia, Tom Kennicutt, and Mohd Yunus Idris, CEO of MASkargo.
