We have partnered with CM Plus to support the construction of logistics facilities overseas.
Joint development of Japanese-quality engineering services for logistics and manufacturing facility construction in Asia
Fukuda and Partners Co., Ltd. (HQ: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Tetsuya Fukuda; hereinafter referred to as “the Company”) has entered into a partnership with CM Plus Singapore Pte. Ltd. (HQ: Singapore; Group CEO: Tsunehiro Togashi; hereinafter referred to as “CM Plus”) in the field of logistics and manufacturing facility construction overseas.
Together, we will work to support the business growth of our customers in the logistics, retail, and manufacturing industries expanding from Japan to other Asian countries.
The rush to build logistics facilities in Asian countries and the growing challenges
In recent years, the cold chain and e-commerce (online retail) markets have expanded significantly in Asian countries, resulting in a yearly increase in freight handling volumes and the construction of numerous logistics facilities. In addition, Japanese manufacturing companies, which previously relied heavily on ground-level warehouses attached to manufacturing facilities, are steadily adopting multi-level automated warehouses due to rising land costs and difficulties in securing land. Local logistics companies are also strengthening their investments in large-scale logistics facilities against the backdrop of economic development.
Background and Aim of the Partnership
Leveraging our experience in the design, supervision, and project management of logistics facilities in Japan and overseas, we plan to further strengthen our services in ASEAN countries. We provide solutions that utilize innovative technology and expertise to meet the diverse needs of our customers.
CM Plus plans to strengthen its advanced logistics facility engineering services for factories in the life sciences industry, such as pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and food, across the Asian region.
This partnership will enable both companies to leverage their respective strengths to provide comprehensive engineering management for warehouse construction projects in Asia. We will establish a framework that can seamlessly provide support both in-country and in Asia.
