SINGAPORE — ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq: ONNN) a premier supplier of high performance silicon solutions for energy efficient electronics, has opened its new Singapore hub for global distribution. The new $3.5 million state-of-the-art facility was built and implemented in partnership with DHL.
“The Singapore Global Distribution Center (GDC) was designed to increase storage and throughput capacity and improve overall productivity,” said John Nelson, executive vice president and chief operating officer for ON Semiconductor.” Our expanded Singapore operations will improve the velocity of our just-in-time shipments to customers and distribution partners, enable more customized logistics processes, and reduce labor expenses. Singapore was an ideal location for this distribution operation because it offers a centralized regional location with close proximity to our customers and to our manufacturing, assembly and test operations located in South Asia.”
Oscar De Bok, CEO for South and Southeast Asia, DHL Supply Chain added: “At DHL we are committed to delivering world class solutions to the semiconductor industry in Asia and beyond. By partnering with ON Semiconductor we have together developed and implemented a strong solution which we believe will set the benchmark for global fulfillment in the industry and have created a clear competitive advantage for ON Semiconductor.”
The Singapore GDC is dedicated to shipping finished goods to its worldwide customer base, acts as a global customer sample center, stores die and wafers for shipment to assembly and test operations, and serves as a local hub for consolidation and delivery of products to customers in South Asia. This facility is now the largest distribution facility serving the semiconductor industry located in Singapore.
Singapore EDB Assistant Managing Director Yeoh Keat Chuan commented: “We welcome ON Semiconductor’s decision to locate its global distribution centre (GDC) here in Singapore. This highly automated GDC is very much in line with Singapore’s drive to promote greater productivity in warehousing and logistics operations. With electronics supply chain and customer base shifting to Asia, Singapore, as the leading logistics hub in Asia, has the capabilities that enable electronics companies to optimize their supply chains for quick turnaround time. The presence of major third party logistics providers also provides a compelling case for distribution centres in Singapore. Today, most of the top 25 third party logistics service providers have significant operations here.”
