- 31 August 2026 - Jungheinrich, a global leader in sustainable
material handling solutions, celebrated 25 years of presence in
Singapore as country's backbone for material flow of goods and a driver
of sustainable intralogistics solutions, with more than 7,000 machines
in the market and over 100 total warehouse solutions implemented.
On 28 August 2026, Jungheinrich celebrated this silver jubilee with an
anniversary gala dinner at Pan Pacific Orchard Singapore, graced by
Guests of Honour:
Thomas Motak, Deputy Head of Mission of the Federal Republic of Germany to Singapore, and
Nadine Despineux, Member of the Board of Management, Chief Sales Officer, Jungheinrich, alongside key attendees such as,
Manojit Acharya, Vice President - Asia Pacific & Managing Director, India,
Benedict Kothe, Managing Director, Singapore and Malaysia, Jungheinrich,
Jens Rübbert, President of the European Chamber of Commerce, Singapore
, Soo Haw Yun, Vice
President, Global Enterprises, Singapore Economic Development Board,
and the various Jungheinrich teams, customers and partners in the APAC
region.
A special toast was raised to mark Jungheinrich Singapore's 25-year
journey and its evolution into a strategic hub for Asia-Pacific (APAC).
Established on 21 February 2001 as the first country unit in APAC,
Jungheinrich Singapore is now part of a regional network spanning eight
country units and 14 partner companies, supported by over 1,500
employees. The Singapore operation oversees key regional functions
including training, automation, dealer management, sales, customer
service and human resources, with the APAC spare parts distribution
centre also based here.
Jungheinrich has also established itself as one of the few full-liner
suppliers of material handling equipment and solutions in Singapore,
offering warehouse trucks, racking, automation, digital solutions and
customer service all under one roof. The Singapore team, comprising of
150 employees, works closely with Jungheinrich's partners across APAC,
supporting the company's regional reach and market development.
Over the past 25 years, Jungheinrich Singapore has pioneered the
adoption of electric material handling equipment in the country, with an
estimated 25% share of the electrified machines market. Its team of 50
technicians strive to provide industry-benchmark service, supporting the
logistics sector's shift towards more efficient and professional
operations. In recognition of its innovation and education initiatives,
Jungheinrich Singapore was named Supply Chain Innovator of the Year
(CSR) at the prestigious Supply Chain Asia Awards 2025, and has also
achieved Great Place To Work® Certified™ status.
Notably, Jungheinrich Singapore was the first in APAC to open a
Jungheinrich Experience Centre,
established in May 2024, to showcase product innovation and illustrate
how material flow interacts within a warehouse setting. The centre has
since welcomed visitors including Kuehne & Nagel, Supply Chain Asia,
the German Embassy in Singapore, and a slew of students from Republic
Polytechnic (Singapore) and the University of St. Gallen (Switzerland).
Jungheinrich Singapore has also played an active role in supporting the
local community, serving as the official logistics sponsor for the
annual National Day Parade for 2 consecutive years in 2025 and 2026,
deploying electric forklifts, pallet trucks and reach trucks to help
distribute close to 250,000 fun packs to spectators. The organisation
also donated warehouse trucks to support Willing Hearts and Food Bank
Singapore in their operations, and provided pallet jacks and forklifts
for the United Buddy Bears Exhibition at Gardens by the Bay in September
2025, which marked the 60th anniversary of diplomatic ties between
Singapore and Germany.
Since 2024, Jungheinrich Singapore and Malaysia have jointly run the
"The Environment Wins Twice" campaign with Animal Projects & Environmental Education (APE) Malaysia,
planting a tree for every electric forklift sold, and as of 2025, 455
trees have been planted, turning each sale into a tangible contribution
to reforestation while supporting Jungheinrich's global sustainability
commitments.
While Southeast Asia's warehouse automation market is
projected to nearly double from US$0.87 billion in 2025 to US$1.95 billion by 2032,
and Singapore's land and labour constraints driving to demand for
smarter, space-efficient solutions, Jungheinrich sees significant
opportunities for further growth in the region.
Looking ahead, Jungheinrich Singapore will focus on developing localised automation solutions, expanding the rollout of
AntOn by Jungheinrich,
and introducing sustainable material handling solutions tailored to
customers across APAC. Building on the launch of its first electric van
in July 2025, the organisation is also targeting a fully green-energy
service fleet by 2030, supporting its commitment to Carbon Neutrality by
2030 for Scope 1 emissions.
"
As we celebrate 25 years in Singapore, we are proud of the strong
foundation we have built with 150 intralogistics experts who support our
customers across industries. Our journey has been defined by
innovation, partnership, and a commitment to improving material flow
efficiency. Looking ahead, we remain focused on helping businesses
enhance productivity, increase warehouse safety and quality, and achieve
sustainable growth through advanced material handling solutions," said
Benedict Kothe, Managing Director, Singapore and Malaysia, Jungheinrich.
"We congratulate Jungheinrich on 25 years in Singapore. Over the
years, Jungheinrich has grown its Singapore operations into a strategic
APAC hub, driving initiatives such as automation, innovation, and
sustainability. We look forward to deepening our partnership with
Jungheinrich as it contributes to Singapore's logistics sector and
develops solutions for the region," said
Soo Haw Yun, Vice President, Singapore Economic Development Board.
As Jungheinrich Singapore enters its next chapter, the organisation
remains committed to supporting customers' growth with innovative,
sustainable and increasingly automated material handling solutions.
