DB Schenker opens new Contract Logistics facilities in Malaysia, New Zealand, China & Guatemala
Contract logistics means more than just storage to us. Contract logistics means understanding and designing processes. Our service is not optimal until we find a solution that contributes to added value and gives our customer a competitive edge.
To add greater service to our customers, we have new facilities around the world joining our existing 500 locations in over 100 countries and 40 million square feet of warehouse space:

Its proximity to Auckland Airport, Wiri’s Inland container port, main arterial roads, and Schenker’s Freight Forwarding division, makes it an optimal location for goods flowing in and out of the facility.

The multi-user facility in the Chinese city of Shenyang is one of DB Schenker’s largest ongoing new construction projects. Following completion and commencement of operations in the first section of the Shenyang Logistics Center (SLC) at the end of 2016, the second section is now ready for operations.
This new section comprises 248,000 square feet, which means that the logistics space, which originally encompassed 204,000 square feet, has now more than doubled in size. As the northern Chinese city of Shenyang is renowned as an automotive hotspot, the facility primarily served companies in the car manufacturing sector when it was first completed. Now, however, it is open to customers from all vertical markets and industries.
Guatemala City, Guatemala
Reliable temperature control: pharmaceutical goods need to be stored as well as transported under precisely defined conditions, very often at temperatures ranging between two and eight or between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius
DB Schenker is expanding its footprint across the Americas region with a new location in Guatemala specializing in temperature-controlled airfreight. This is the second office for the logistics service provider in the Central American country, and it is based at the International Airport of the capital Guatemala City. The focus of the team of logistics experts will be on international shipments for companies operating in the pharmaceutical industry and the perishable goods sector, both of which play a crucial role in Guatemala’s economy.
