DKSH’s Business Unit Performance Materials, a leading ingredients and specialty chemicals distributor, has expanded its operations in Vietnam by opening a new state-of-the-art 3,600 square meter distribution center in Dong Nai Province. The distribution centre was established as a response to the increased demand from business partners for DKSH’s Market Expansion Services and the rapidly growing economy in Vietnam.

The new centre is fully certified and ensures compliance with Vietnamese laws for the storage condition of chemicals and food products. It is equipped with the latest technology in logistics and warehousing operations, including an ambient storage area for over one thousand pallets. Serving the food and beverage, personal care and specialty chemicals industries, the distribution center plays a vital role in distributing innovative ingredients and specialty chemicals to southern Vietnam’s downstream users.

Hung Dang Phung, General Manager, Performance Materials, DKSH Vietnam, commented: “We are proud to inaugurate a fantastic new distribution centre that addresses the needs of our valued business partners from all of the industry sectors we serve in the local market. We are experiencing increasing demand for Market Expansion Services of ingredients and specialty chemicals, which has resulted in the further expansion of our existing infrastructure.”

The new facility, which further enhances DKSH’s already robust distribution network in Vietnam, will reinforce the company’s position as a leading Market Expansion Services provider for Performance Materials.
