Asia distribution hub grabs foreign attention

Posted By on September 8, 2010

“Singapore and Hong Kong are no longer feasible for manufacturers of low-margin, high-volume goods, and some have found that China is not the answer. We believe Malaysia is a very good option if you put it all together – and there are ample resources in terms of labor and land that are affordable with a fantastic lifestyle,” says Noel Gulliver the Managing Director of Asia distribution hub, PKFZ.
Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) has seen static growth among the investors since its soft opening and began operations on November 1st, 2006. Among the first tenants in Asia distribution hub PKFZ is Norway’s Aker Kvaerner, which his company manufactures subsea equipment used to pump oil and gas. Aver has taken up 27.6ha of land in PKFZ since he first built his plant back then, and today, he owns 14% of Asia distribution hub’s land in total; spent RM400million in building a manufacturing center which will play a pivotal role in support of his gas and oil exploitation in Asia.
Among PKFZ’s early local heavyweights investing in Asia distribution hub is Pantech Group Holdings Bhd, which had taken 2.8ha of prepared land. Pantech manufactures pipes, fittings and flow control (PFF) products. Pantech’s facility in PKFZ does re-export of PFF products to their clients across the region.
PKFZ is Asia’s distribution hub located at the Straits of Malacca, Malaysia. Its integrated solution enables integration of commercial and industrial parks to ease transportation and transshipment costs. An integrated free zone creates a niche market for manufacturing and logistics businesses around the world and also, means commercial and industrial parks sit next to each other – transactions, communications, transfers, upgrades and so forth can be done in an area of its own without much hassle.

Bangladesh, a diminutive country in Asia, is one of the most densely populated countries on earth, with around 86% Muslims and 14% Hindus.

You will find that Asians are more religious than any other type of population on earth. According to a law in Maldives, a country with over 99% Muslim population, it’s not legal for tourists to get more than one bible along with them.
