Barry Callebaut has broken ground on a new cocoa bean warehousing and dispatching facility in Malaysia, in a partnership with Maersk, which will help build and operate it.
The warehouse will support Barry Callebaut’s goal of continuing to provide customers in Malaysia and the Asia Pacific region with its cocoa and chocolate products and services.
The ‘Built-To-Suit’ facility in the Johor Bahru district, a kilometer from Barry Callebaut’s cocoa processing factory in Pasir Gudang, is also part of Maersk’s ambition to expand its logistics service into an integrated end-to-end logistics solution.
Once complete, the multi-story facility will be “one of the largest” cocoa bean warehouses in Southeast Asia, spanning over 500,000 square feet.
It will incorporate a “fit-for-purpose” design that prioritizes operational efficiency and be equipped with new technologies and sustainable solutions such as solar panel roofs, LED lights, and natural ventilation.
Since January 2022, Maersk has connected Barry Callebaut’s supply chain from cocoa growing origins in Africa to the factories in the Asia Pacific region, through ocean and landside logistics service.
The warehousing and dispatching facility is expected to be completed by the end of Q2 2024.
