Dutch Lady unveils new modern distribution centre in Bandar Enstek
KUALA LUMPUR: Dutch Lady Milk Industries Bhd (DLMI) today launched its new state-of-the-art distribution centre in Bandar Enstek, Negri Sembilan.
The launch marks a significant milestone for the company as it celebrates its 62nd anniversary, and follows the inauguration of the DLMI@Enstek site just a year ago.
The 13-hectare centre, completed in just under nine months, broke ground in August 2024 and was finalised by April this year.
The facility is designed to support DLMI's end-to-end production and distribution capabilities, with a storage capacity of nearly 25,000 pallets.
DLMI managing director Veronika Winanti Wahyu Utami said the new distribution centre will significantly improve supply chain efficiency across Malaysia.
"This new distribution centre is not just a facility. It is designed to strengthen our supply chain, support sustainable practices, and better serve our customers across the country," she said in a statement.
She added the construction was also made possible through construction partners WSP Engineering Malaysia Sdn Bhd, TechnyGroup Holdings (M) Sdn Bhd and Trip Guard Sdn Bhd.
"As part of DLMI's sustainability commitment, the facility will be equipped with solar panels by the end of 2025.
"This green initiative is projected to cut 20-25 per cent of DLMI's electricity needs and reduce carbon emissions by 13-16 per cent compared to 2022," she added.
The facility is fully integrated with the dairy group's manufacturing plant, both physically and digitally, to streamline operations, boost storage efficiency and reduce human error.
FrieslandCampina chief supply chain officer David Cutter emphasised that the project reflects a long-term commitment to Malaysia in providing better nutrition for all Malaysians.
The establishment of the new centre was made possible with the support of the Federal government and state agencies.
This includes the Malaysian Investment Development Authority, Invest Negri Sembilan, the State Department of Islamic Affairs of Negri Sembilan and the Seremban City Council.
