  • MANILA, PHILIPPINES - Media OutReach Newswire - 10 September 2025 - With more than 100 years of experience in the freight forwarding industry, the German-based Rhenus Group has developed a strong network worldwide and is set to strengthen its presence in the Philippines. The leading global logistics provider continues its local growth journey with a combined investment of US$20 million across service expansions consolidated in a new Head Office, an expanded Global Shared Service Center to strengthen support for international operations, and enhanced warehousing capabilities in 2026.

The 20,000 sqm warehouse is envisioned to be one of the highest compliant warehouses in the Philippines, catering to Dangerous Goods (DG) and Non-DG products. This new warehouse is an addition to the current five warehousing facilities in Manila, Cagayan de Oro, and Davao.

    "We strive to provide the best support for our customers' growth and to further solidify our position as a trusted warehousing partner in the country. We will continue to invest in modern facilities designed to handle all of our customers' needs with a strong focus on safety, compliance, efficiency, and sustainability," said Deepak Sharma, Managing Director of Rhenus Philippines Warehousing Solutions.
