According to GEODIS, Keppel has almost 500 personnel and a strong presence throughout Southeast Asia, ranking in the top five contract logistics service providers in Singapore. It has warehouse space in Singapore, Malaysia, and Australia totalling over 200,000 square feet.

The acquisition will considerably expand GEODIS' contract logistics presence and e-commerce fulfillment services in Singapore and Southeast Asia, according to the business.

It said that it is a significant step forward in the company's strategic roadmap for the Asia Pacific region, where it employs 3,700 people across 76 locations. The acquisition will further strengthen GEODIS' position as a premier logistics service provider, adding to previous investments in contract logistics locations in India, South Korea, and Australia, according to the company.

In the same release, Thomas Pang, CEO of Keppel Telecommunications & Transportation, told the media that Keppel Logistics has been offering bespoke integrated logistics in Singapore for more than 50 years.
