DHL has announced that the Asia Pacific Solutions & Innovation Center (ASIC), its first innovation centre outside Germany, will be based in Singapore. ASIC will be the first Centre of Excellence for innovative logistics services and solutions in the region and home to the world's first Centre of Excellence for Automation.

JJ-Lapp Cable Singapore has successfully won the project to supply over 40km of power and control cables to DHL Supply Chain for ASIC to be used in complex multi-sector and multi-user operations as well as cutting-edge automation such as automated storage, order picking and packing systems.

Our commitment to enriching the supply chain ecosystem with innovative solutions has earned us a solid reputation. We are elated to add this project to our growing track record in the region."
