From its new office in Kuching, the company will provide international sea and air logistics services, customs clearance, warehousing and distribution solutions to locally-based and international network customers.

Said Agility south east Asian chief Mike Gildea: "As we build our domestic distribution across Malaysia, Sarawak is strategically located in the heart of South East Asia with good access to regional and global business centres."

The logistics firm has more than 500 employees across its Malaysian network and more than 41,000 square metres of warehouse space. It has been operating in Malaysia since 1985 and is planning further investments in Sarawak and Sabah.
