PENANG, Malaysia--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Jabil Inc. (NYSE: JBL), a global leader in engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing solutions, has opened its next-generation logistics hub in Penang.

Jabil’s new Intelligent Logistics Hub (or the Hub) spans around 417,000 square feet and is located in the Valdor Industrial Park in Sungai Jawi, Penang. The digitalised facility is set to boost the company’s back-end operations and support customers’ rapidly growing product complexity and capacity demands using AI-enabled capabilities to streamline inventory management, enhance traceability and tracking, deploy autonomous robots, and more.

“Supply chain volatility, rising logistics and operating costs, and the need for greater visibility into inventory are a few challenges faced in today’s advanced manufacturing and electronics supply chains. Coupled with the growth we see in the region, the new facility is a timely investment to enhance our automation capability and help Jabil grow to meet our customers’ future needs,” said HH Yeo, Jabil’s Senior Vice President of Operations.

"The Jabil Intelligent Logistics Hub demonstrates how Malaysian innovation and engineering capabilities can deliver world-class industrial infrastructure that meets the evolving needs of global supply chains.

Bhd. (PROTT).

Leveraging Penang’s strategic location, the new logistics hub will support end-to-end material flow, with capabilities including kitting, inventory management, automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS), sequencing, packing, cross-docking, traceability, and just-in-time (JIT) delivery to production lines.

Jabil opened its first Penang location in 1995. Across its eight Malaysian facilities, the company today employs more than 14,000 people and serves a wide range of industries, from automotive and transportation; cloud and data centre infrastructure; defence and aerospace; healthcare; and semiconductor capital equipment.
