Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP) has awarded a 10-year exclusive logistics services contract to DB Schenker, a global leading logistics service provider, to support the development of Asia’s first multi-industry advanced manufacturing facility, integrated with automated and smart logistics solutions. Located in the Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate and developed by HKSTP, the facility named Advanced Manufacturing Centre (AMC) will be completed in 2022 and designed to support high value-added and on-demand manufacturing in Hong Kong.
The AMC is set to be a key driver in Hong Kong’s vision of re-industrialisation by making it accessible for innovators that demand world-class process excellence to innovate, design and manufacture their products in the city. The facility strives to be the place where innovations from Hong Kong and globally, will break through the barriers from research to industry, achieving remarkable commercial success.
Albert Wong, CEO at HKSTP, said: “Our partnership with DB Schenker on the AMC, is a significant milestone and a testament to the positive progress in realizing Hong Kong’s re-industrialisation vision. The AMC combines best-in-class logistics with the latest advanced manufacturing technology to turn the “Made in Hong Kong” brand into ready-to-scale, ready-to-distribute, ready-for-market products, at rapid speed.”
