Taiwan’s ALP Launches RM500 Mln Smart Cold Chain Facility In Shah Alam
KUALA LUMPUR, May 15 (Bernama) -- Taiwan property developer and operator of smart logistics infrastructure company, Ally Logistic Property (ALP), has launched its first purpose-built smart cold chain facility in Malaysia and second OMEGA project in the Klang Valley for approximately RM500 million.
In a statement, ALP said the 3.64-hectare facility, which is located in Shah Alam, Selangor, is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2028.
OMEGA 2 Shah Alam will be Malaysia’s first developer-built multi-storey Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS) cold chain facility, featuring approximately 5.36 hectares of built-up space and more than 30,000 pallet positions.
“The facility is designed on a multi-tenant model, enabling multiple supply chains to operate within a shared infrastructure ecosystem to reduce duplication of logistics assets and lower overall energy usage across the supply chain network.
“Designed as a multi-temperature logistics hub, the facility will integrate ambient, air-conditioned, chilled and frozen storage zones to support the growing needs of Malaysia’s food and beverage, pharmaceutical, retail and e-commerce sectors,” it said.
ALP said the project comes amid rising demand for modern cold chain infrastructure in Malaysia, where purpose-built and automated cold storage facilities remain limited despite rapid growth across temperature-sensitive industries.
It said OMEGA 2 Shah Alam is expected to reduce energy consumption, optimise resource utilisation and improve operational efficiency compared to conventional cold storage facilities, which aligns with Malaysia’s National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) and the New Industrial Master Plan (NIMP) 2030.
Ally Logistic Property Malaysia managing director Bryan Yeo said cold chain logistics is becoming increasingly important across sectors such as food distribution, pharmaceuticals, retail and e-commerce.
He also said that Malaysia’s cold chain infrastructure market remains relatively underserved in terms of automation, scalability and energy efficiency.
“OMEGA 2 Shah Alam is designed to address these gaps through a smarter and more sustainable cold chain solution.
“Beyond operational efficiency, we believe advanced logistics infrastructure can also contribute to Malaysia’s broader aspirations of becoming a high-income, technology-driven economy while supporting the nation’s environmental, social and governance as well as energy transition goals,” said Yeo.
