PKT Logistics to set up new hub:
KUALA LUMPUR, 26 OCTOBER 2009 - PKT Logistics Group Sdn Bhd will invest RM70mil more in its phase two expansion plan to build a state-of-the-art warehouse in line with its strategy to tap the fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) market.

Managing director and group chief executive officer Datuk Michael Tio said the 365,000 sq ft warehouse, dubbed "The Waves", was expected to be ready by next August.

"We have already secured a contract from a FMCG multinational corporation (MNC) to rent the entire warehouse plus a double-storey office facility. The MNC will make Malaysia as its Asean manufacturing hub," he told reporters last week when PKT signed an agreement with ECnet (M) Sdn Bhd for integrated e-logistics solutions. The signing was witnessed by Malaysian Industrial Development Authority director of logistics and regional division Tan Piak Bong.

Tio said The Waves would be situated next to PKT's first phase of expansion, a logistics hub dubbed "The Ship", which had just been completed.

"The Ship, which costs RM50mil, sits on 4ha in Shah Alam and its operation will focus on third-party logistics services for a mix of automotive, food and beverages as well as FMCG customers.

"The Ship consists of 30,000 sq ft of our new corporate headquarters and 150,000 sq ft of ambient warehouse," he said. Tio said PKT decided to diversify into FMCG logistics services from its current concentration on auto-logistics as the FMCG sector managed to record growth in the challenging economic climate.

"Revenue of logistics services for the FMCG sector in Malaysia totaled RM2bil annually where a large chunk is dominated by multinational logistics players," he said, adding that with the investment, the company hoped to secure a bigger share of the market.

Tio said the group was now fully equipped to increase its FMGC business operations to 40% of total sales by 2011 from 20% currently. Automotive logistics is its core business.

Meanwhile, under the agreement with ECnet, PKT would invest RM2.5mil over the next three years in integrated e-logistics solutions which include a supply chain suite and info-warehouse management system.

ECnet is an information technology solutions company that focuses on providing software-as-a-service in areas such as supply chain management, mobility and enterprise solutions.

Tio said it was significant for a local company to have a strong IT system to support its operation to gain a competitive edge against multinational logistics players.

"Our current total logistics solutions, via freight forwarding, customs brokerage, haulage and trucking, will further enhance our services to the FMCG sector. Coupled with our new logistics hub, the software and infrastructure aspects have been addressed to propel us further," he said.

PKT to boost revenue from fast-moving goods sector:
KUALA LUMPUR, 23 OCTOBER 2009 - PKT Logistics Group Sdn Bhd, a freight forwarding company based in Port Klang, aims to capture a quarter of the country's potential RM2 billion logistics revenue in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) market by 2013, says its top executive.

Eighty per cent of the company's overall revenue comes from automotive logistics today, while the balance is contributed by FMCG logistics. PKT recently embarked on a diversification strategy to penetrate into the lucrative FMCG segment to help in its vision to become a billion ringgit company by then.

"The FMCG sector is currently dominated by large foreign logistics multi national companies (MNCS), which from our observation have in these tough economic times managed to maintain and in some cases even record growth," PKT managing director and group chief executive officer Michael Tio said after a signing ceremony in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.

To further enhance PKT's offerings in the FMCG sector, it has invested about RM120 million to develop a modern logistics hub on 10.8 ha of industrial land at Section 32, Shah Alam, Selangor.

Tio said the new facility will focus on the FMCG business.

"We want to achieve the ideal revenue ratio of 60:40 for auto and FMCG logistics respectively by 2011. This is because the FMCG business is growing faster than the auto business," he added.

Under Phase 1 of the development, with an initial RM50 million in investment, the hub will feature a corporate headquarter and a warehouse.

Yesterday, PKT announced that it has secured a contract to build and rent the entire 365,00 sq ft of Phase 2, dubbed as the "Waves", to a leading FMCG company.

PKT expects to hand over the RM70 million warehouse and two-storey office facility to a Swedish MNC tenant in the third quarter of 2010.

Earlier, PKT signed a RM2.5 million contract with ECnet (M) Sdn Bhd to provide integrated total e-logistics solutions for the next three years.

System to help push Permanis Sales:
KUALA LUMPUR, 4 AUGUST 2008 - Permanis Sdn Bhd expects to maintain its revenue growth for the current financial year ending June 30 with the implementation of its new distribution system. The soft drink manufacturer and distributor has appointed ECnet (M) Sdn Bhd to provide the system which will help push sales. Vice-president of finance Abdul Halim Abdul Rahman the forecast was in line with the global economic slowdown that would likely affect the fast-moving consumer goods market by year-end.

Permanis reported a 9% increase in its revenue to RM270mil for the financial year ended June 20, 2007. Abdul Halim said consumers were prudent with their spending following the current economic slowdown. “Therefore, Permanis has to efficiently improve its distribution system to face the full impact of the slowdown, which is expected to happen in the fourth quarter,” he told Starbiz after the agreement signing with ECnet recently. Abdul Halim said the new Permanis distribution system was designed to improve sales via its distributors. “The system will provide the relevant information on how to promote our products at the right location and time based on previous trend. “Future market demand is easily anticipated and we can improve on inventory accordingly,” he said.

Abdul Halim said sales via distributors commanded 30% of the company’s turnover. “The other sales channel includes direct supply to hypermarkets such as Carrefour and fast-food franchise operators like Kentucky Fried Chicken,” he said. ECnet Ltd president Tarun Mathur said the system would integrate Permanis’ entire supply chain. He said if there were fluctuation in demand from customers, the manufacturing and distribution divisions would be alerted to adapt to the changes. “For us, every customer is a business partner where we assist them to optimize the movement of goods from the manufacturing facility to the point of consumption.

”The system has a unique operation whereby planning starts at the demand point compared with the traditional supplier point. “This will result in ample stock arrangement according to customers’ needs,” he said, adding that ECnet had partnered with over 300 Malaysian customers. For Permanis’ distribution system, ECnet has teamed up with software service provider Infor Global Solutions (Singapore) Pte Ltd. Tarun said the system would reduce supply chain operational costs to enhance profitability, growth and market share.
