DKSH opens new healthcare, technology distribution centre

DKSH Business Units Healthcare (HEC) and Business Unit Technology(TEC) boosted their presence in Laos by expanding their infrastructure through the opening of a 2,240 square metre distribution centre in Saysettha Special Economic Zone (SEZ) of Vientiane, Laos.
The company’s new centre was officially opened recently and it is now a state-of-the-art healthcare and technology distribution centre of Laos.
This event is testament to DKSH’s commitment to bringing innovative and technologically advanced products to Laos and to providing an advanced platform to its clients to help them deliver growth in Laos.

DKSH company representatives cut the ribbon to open the new healthcare and technology Distribution Centre in Saysettha SEZ.

The distribution centre represents a significant capacity upgrade in DKSH’s healthcare and technology infrastructure in Laos. The new facility in SEZ replaces DKSH Laos’ older distribution centre in Phonsinouan village which was operating at near full capacity.
With its new strategic location, the distribution centre will hold HEC warehouse operations and TEC workshop and storage. With a capacity of over 740 pallets, the new distribution centre enables DKSH to provide its business partners with even more high-quality, seamless, and integrated distribution and logistics services tailored to suit their needs.
The newly opened facility also introduces a range of innovative and sustainable features, including solar panel installation to reduce carbon footprint, LED lighting to help reduce energy consumption as well as enhance productivity and safety. To ensure high healthcare standards, the facility has a 24-hour air-conditioning and cold chain system that monitors temperatures. Additionally, the DC setup includes a racking system that increases pallet capacity and an optimised operation flow.
These features promote safety, productivity, sustainability, and environmental responsibility.
The General Manager, Business Unit Healthcare and Head Country Management, DKSH Laos, Vishwas Gupta, said, “Our new distribution centre marks our commitment to the people of Laos.
