Sheng Siong Invests S$520 Million in New Supermarket Distribution Hub

Singaporean supermarket group Sheng Siong has embarked on its largest investment to date, breaking ground on a new S$520 million integrated headquarters and distribution centre in Sungei Kadut. The seven-storey facility, scheduled for completion in 2029, will occupy a site approximately 2.5 times the size of its existing distribution center in Mandai Link.

Designed to accommodate growth, the expansive 61,000 sqm center will support Sheng Siong's expansion to over 120 stores, a significant increase from its current network of 90 outlets. The new facility will incorporate cutting-edge technology, including automated storage and retrieval systems, robotics, and intelligent warehouse management systems, alongside multi-temperature storage zones. Sheng Siong anticipates these advancements will enable products to reach stores more rapidly.

people will always remain at the heart of our company

Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony, Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong highlighted the responsibility of major companies like Sheng Siong to uplift their surrounding ecosystem through sustained partnerships. He encouraged suppliers to enhance their own productivity, with government support for innovation and supply chain resilience. Sheng Siong Group CEO Lim Hock Chee emphasized that while automation will create opportunities for workers to move into higher-skilled roles, "people will always remain at the heart of our company."

Founded in 1985, Sheng Siong has grown to become one of Singapore's largest supermarket operators. The company has been listed on the Singapore Exchange since 2011.
