SKF Thailand Opens New Regional Warehouse to Support Asia-Pacific Growth

PATHUMWAN, Thailand - June 23, 2026 - PRLog -- Thailand: SKF (Thailand) Limited, a global leader in bearing manufacturing from Sweden, has strengthened its operational capabilities across the Asia-Pacific region with the opening of a new Regional Warehouse near Laem Chabang Port in Chonburi Province. The new facility reinforces Thailand's position as a regional distribution hub, enhances supply chain competitiveness, and supports growing industrial demand across the region.

The Regional Warehouse serves as a strategic logistics hub connecting supply chain networks across Asia-Pacific under SKF's regional supply chain optimization strategy. Strategically located near Laem Chabang Port, the facility spans more than 5,102 square meters and supports the storage and distribution of over 5,100 SKUs of SKF bearings and industrial solutions.

Equipped with a Warehouse Management System (WMS), the facility enables real-time inventory visibility and efficient end-to-end logistics operations, helping improve service levels and delivery performance across the region.

Mr. Tawiwat Reongpunyaroj, Managing Director of SKF (Thailand) Limited, said, "The opening of our new Regional Warehouse marks a significant milestone in strengthening SKF Thailand's regional logistics network and enhancing our customer service capabilities. The facility enables us to improve inventory management, shorten delivery lead times, and elevate the overall customer experience across the region.

"By building a more agile, responsive, and efficient supply chain, we are better positioned to meet growing market demand. We expect transportation volumes to increase by approximately 15% annually, while warehouse storage volumes are projected to grow by around 10% per year."

The facility is expected to play a key role in supporting SKF's continued growth in Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines through integrated land and sea transportation networks.

"Beyond enhancing logistics efficiency, we remain firmly committed to our sustainability agenda. The warehouse utilizes 100% electric material handling equipment and electric prime movers for all internal and on-site logistics operations. This transition to clean energy is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 30,000 kilograms annually," Mr. Tawiwat added.

Looking ahead, SKF Thailand plans to pursue LEED Certification (LEED v4) by 2027, further strengthening its commitment to sustainability and supporting SKF Group's global ESG objectives.

The launch of the new Regional Warehouse underscores SKF's role as a global provider of industrial solutions while highlighting Thailand's growing importance as a key logistics hub in Asia-Pacific.
