The 48,000 sq m warehouse and office hub is the company’s largest facility in Singapore. Strategically located in the western part of Singapore near Jurong Port, with easy access not only to the Port but also the major highways across the island; it is ideally placed to support the logistics needs of both existing and new customers. Currently, CEVA provides warehouse and logistics services to several companies from Energy/Oil & Gas and Industrial, to Consumer and Retail sectors at the multi-user West Hub. Elaine Low, Executive Vice President for South East Asia said: “We are delighted to have a new facility at West Hub which boosts CEVA’s footprint in Singapore. This is now our largest site in Singapore, and a major investment we have made to better serve the logistics and supply chain needs of our customers. Singapore’s strategic location in Asia, combined with the country’s excellent network and international connectivity. makes it an ideal hub for many multinational companies to operate from. We see good potential for the West Hub to address new market opportunities as well as grow the sectors in which CEVA already has a stronghold.” The West Hub is a seven-story drive up warehouse facility with covered and open yard space catering to the specific needs of CEVA’s Oil & Gas and Industrial customers.
