An average of 50 million units per day are expected to pass through
this new, automated, 95,000 square foot, US$3.5 million Singapore
distribution facility
PRNewswire-Asia/ --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 US$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 & 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.
-- More than half of the 38 billion devices ON Semiconductor
produces and ships annually are expected to pass through the
company＊s Singapore GDC.
-- The new 95,000 square-foot Singapore GDC is double the size of
the regional distribution center ON Semiconductor previously
operated in Singapore.
-- Approximately 150 employees of DHL, ON Semiconductor＊s strategic
logistics partner throughout Asia, currently work at the Singapore
GDC.
-- ON Semiconductor expects supply chain productivity within its
regional operations to improve by more than 15 percent as a direct
result of the expanded and automated facility.
"We are grateful for the local support provided us during the
selection, planning and construction of this state-of-the-art
distribution center," said Nelson. "This distribution center is an
investment in both the future of ON Semiconductor and reaffirms
Singapore's position as an international center for distribution
within the electronics industry. ON Semiconductor had a need to
expand its distribution capacity to address increasing customer
demands and to consolidate its distribution operations for its
growing product portfolio. Singapore offered a centralized regional
location with close proximity to our customers and our
manufacturing, assembly and test operations located in South
Asia."
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."
