DKSH Upgrades Distribution Operations Through Significant Technological Renovation
In the heart of Thailand, DKSH's Bang Na-Trad facility stands as a testament to the company's commitment to sustainable market expansion. This state-of-the-art facility, serving DKSH's Consumer Goods Business Unit, has earned multiple international certifications, including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001, reflecting its dedication to quality, environmental sustainability, and worker safety.
The facility, employing 6,500 people, including 2,000 sales staff, generated net sales of CHF 3.4 billion in 2024. Neil McCann, Vice President of Supply Chain Management for Thailand and Laos, highlighted the facility's significance, stating that it embodies DKSH's approach to sustainable market expansion.
DKSH's scale allows it to support over 700 companies in Asia by providing market expertise and distribution capabilities. The Bang Na-Trad facility, in particular, operates a capillary distribution service, combining multiple clients to enable them to sell and physically distribute products across Thailand's diverse retail landscape. This operation serves nearly 130 clients and covers 140,000 outlets nationwide.
The facility's transformation demonstrates how established logistics operators adapt legacy infrastructure to meet evolving supply chain demands. It has earned seven consecutive years of national occupational safety awards, including a Zero Accident Award at silver level for the second consecutive year. This recognition underscores DKSH's commitment to workplace safety.
However, there is no publicly available information on the name of the Supply Chain Management leader for FMCG at DKSH Thailand or the date they assumed the position.
The Bang Na-Trad facility is part of a broader network that includes cross-docks and regional warehouses designed specifically for comprehensive Thai market coverage. This network allows DKSH to provide efficient, reliable, and sustainable logistics solutions, contributing to the success of its clients and the growth of Thailand's consumer goods market.
