• The new warehouse enhances the company’s footprint in providing companies support in specialized goods logistics

Rhenus Group, a leading global logistics provider, has opened a new dangerous goods warehouse in Bangkok, Thailand. Strategically located near key ports, and next to its current KM19 warehouse in Bangna Trad, the new warehouse aims to strengthen its capabilities in Thailand, as well as the region, in specialized warehousing services.
Thailand’s warehousing market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%1 from 2023 to 2028. This is primarily due to the expansion of the e-commerce sector, increasing foreign direct investment in manufacturing, and the rising demand for third-party logistics services. The development of specialized warehousing is also gaining traction due to growing demand for temperature-sensitive and high-value goods.
The 5,817 sqm purpose-built Dangerous Goods compliant facility connects conveniently to key logistics infrastructure and its existing KM19 warehouse, optimizing operational efficiency for its customers. The warehouse will open in phases from now onwards, to support companies with a mix of dangerous and non-dangerous goods cargo, enabling integrated storage and handling within one site while maintaining clear segregation and compliance requirements. Key features of the warehouse include 90-minute fire-rated walls and doors, explosion-proof electrical components, fire pumps and sprinklers rated for dangerous goods and explosion-proof ventilation.
