June 19, 2024<\/strong> \u2013 Swisslog, a leading provider of best-in-class warehouse automation and software, today officially opened the doors of its new office in Penang, Malaysia. This strategic expansion underscores Swisslog’s commitment to supporting its customers in the northern region, including those in the Electrical and Electronics (E&E), Food & Beverage (F&B) sectors.<\/p>\n

Swisslog has a strong track record in Malaysia, boasting a successful presence for nearly 30 years. Throughout its tenure, the company has achieved key milestones by delivering automation solutions to leading players across the region, including Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam. Its footprint extends across diverse sectors, including logistics, cold chain, retail, and e-commerce.<\/p>\n

“In today’s dynamic business landscape, proximity to our customers is paramount,” said Tan Yong Seng, Head of Customer Service \u2013 South East Asia, Swisslog. “This new office will allow us to provide even more responsive and personalized support to our customers in the northern region. They can expect a dedicated team of experts readily available to address their specific warehouse automation needs and challenges, ensuring their success.”<\/p>\n

Among its other solutions, the Penang office will house an AutoStore demonstration unit, allowing customers to experience this innovative storage and retrieval system firsthand.

Swisslog, a pioneering integrator, has spearheaded over 370 projects worldwide, cementing its position as a leader in AutoStore integration.
