HDS launches S$4.6 million Asia Pacific distribution centre in Singapore

Hitatchi Data Systems (HDS) has just started operations on their one-month old spanking new S$4.6 million Asia Pacific distribution facility in Singapore.

The centre will serve Asia Pacific (excluding Japan), and will serve to bring down shipment times by an average of two business days for customers in the region, said HDS’ Frans van Rijn, senior VP and chief logistics officer at a press conference today.

If you’re a customer in Singapore, it is even better news — shipments can now be delivered in hours. Prior to having this Asia Pacific distribution facility, HDS had to ship their products from US to Japan and then to the rest of Asia Pacific. This Asia Pacific HDS distribution facility is the third to be built globally and joins HDS’ existing distribution facilities in Indianopolis, US and in Waardenburg, Netherlands.
