DB SCHENKER breaks new ground with record investment in Singapore


  • Increases total logistics footprint in Singapore to almost 4 million square feet
  • Features LEED GOLD ZERO Carbon & Green Mark PLATINUM ZERO Energy Credentials
  • Incorporates Innovation Incubator and Sandbox for R&D

In August 2020, DB SCHENKER inaugurated its ‘Red Lion’ facility in Singapore, then its largest investment globally.  Three years on, DB SCHENKER doubles-down at the ‘Red Lion2’ ground-breaking ceremony, to surpass its previous 101million Euro record investment. Red Lion2 is expected to be completed by first-half of 2025. 

Red Lion2 combines sustainability and innovation leadership into its Singapore masterplan at the Tampines LogisPark, with a skybridge to connect Red Lion2 to its existing adjacent SLC3 facility.  This makes DB SCHENKER the largest global 3PL (Third-Party Logistics service provider) not only in Tampines LogisPark, but also in Airport Logistics Park of Singapore (ALPS), and Changi South Business Park, with over 16 locations and more than 3.97million square feet of operational footprint throughout Singapore.

“Red Lion2 is testament of our commitment to Singapore and the Asia Pacific region. As part of our ever-growing logistics ecosystem, it serves as a vital, sustainable, and strategic hub for our customers and our global network. We invest with clear intent to not only build resilience and scalability for our customers supply chains, but also to drive digitalization, sustainability & network agility with ground-breaking and cutting-edge initiatives for the industry. We are pivoting towards the future not just for the region from right here in Singapore, but also for the rest of the world.”

“Our teams collaborated closely with our customers and Singapore government agencies such as EDB and JTC, to make this a reality. We have had to do things differently in designing and optimizing the space & workflow, which led to a first-ever skybridge interconnecting our two facilities at Tampines LogisPark instead of conventional ramps at Red Lion2. Also, with the combined deployment of Solar Panels across our facilities here, we have the largest solar-powered logistics facility in Singapore, generating more energy than consumed on site. And it is amidst this vibrant environment that we feel is most apt to foster more sustainable innovation, by providing the space and culture to sandbox new ideas for the industry.”

“DB Schenker continues to affirm its commitments to the Singapore logistics ecosystem through this significant investment in the RedLion2. With a focus on key sectors such as Semicon and Healthcare, RedLion2’s cutting-edge facilities echo DB Schenker’s dedication to anchor expansion and innovation capabilities here. Amongst its standout features are a collaborative sandbox with our local small and medium enterprises to pioneer logistics technologies, its pursuit of Zero Energy and carbon negative emissions, and new automation solutions to increase efficiency. RedLion2 will also create many skilled and high-value jobs to further strengthen Singapore's position as a global logistics and supply chain management hub.”

Red Lion2 incorporates design and functionalities which accredits it LEED GOLD and LEED ZERO Carbon status, as well as Green Mark PLATINUM and Green Mark ZERO Energy certification.  To embed innovation, a ‘sandbox’ area has been designed purposefully as an incubator to test-bed new ideas within the Red Lion2, which would help expedite feasibility trials in a live operating ecosystem.
