Kuala Lumpur (VNA) - Japanese household items supplier Daiso will be investing 1 billion RM (211.4 million USD) to build its largest global distribution centre (GDC) in Port Klang, Selangor, Malaysia next year, Malaysian news agency Bernama reported on October 5.

The GDC will be Daiso’s second international hub after China.

Daiso Malaysia Group Sdn Bhd chairman Tan Sri Khairul Adib Abd Rahman said the GDC will function as a global distribution hub for Daiso to launch logistics operations for the entry of Daiso’s products from Japan and China, including distribution to 22 countries in Asia and the Middle East.
