PENANG, MALAYSIA (14 Nov 2022) Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE: BSX), a global leader in medical device technology, today unveiled a new expansion of its operations in Batu Kawan, Penang. The expansion is expected to enable approximately 300 jobs in the coming years and includes a 110,000 square foot global distribution center.
In support of the company’s commitment to achieve carbon neutrality in all manufacturing and key distribution sites by 2030, the new facility will be partially powered by solar panels and use a power monitoring system for energy efficiency. Additionally, the new facility includes a rainwater harvesting system for indoor and outdoor use. Combined, these initiatives form part of a strategy for the facility to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification in the near future.
The global distribution center was ceremonially opened by Penang Chief Minister, the Right Honourable Mr. Chow Kon Yeow. Joining him at the event was the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) Chief Executive Officer, Datuk Wira Arham Abdul Rahman, as well as Special Investment Advisor to the Chief Minister of Penang, Dato Seri Lee Kah Choon, and InvestPenang Chief Executive Officer, Dato Loo Lee Lian.
“In 2017, the first Boston Scientific manufacturing facility in Asia was opened in Penang,” said the Right Honourable Mr. Chow Kon Yeow. “Today, the state is proud to be selected as the location for the company’s first global distribution center in the region. This expansion has greatly demonstrated the dynamic and supportive ecosystem the state holds, which enables companies to deepen roots and widen portfolios in Penang and across Asia. The state, via InvestPenang and other agencies, strives to uphold our competitive edge, which is buoyed by 50 years of excellence, towards greater potential going forward.”
The new facility is the third global distribution center for the company and the first located in Asia, shipping medical devices within Malaysia and around the world. In addition to manufacturing roles, the site will employ professionals in knowledge-intensive regional supply chain roles such as planning, logistics, customer care and equipment service repair. As such, Penang will be key to the company’s global supply chain network, serving as a hub for Asia Pacific markets and supporting ongoing global business continuity and resilience.
“The unveiling of the new Boston Scientific distribution facility will strengthen the company’s position as a global services hub in this region,” said Datuk Wira Arham Abdul Rahman. “This reaffirms Malaysia as a strategic location to support the company’s end-to-end supply chain operations, from managing procurement and sales to the worldwide distribution of highly regulated medical devices. Malaysia is an ideal location for multinational corporations such as Boston Scientific to better manage and serve their customers and global supply chain networks due to its well-developed infrastructure and availability of a dynamic and skilled workforce.”
Boston Scientific has had a strong manufacturing presence in Penang for over five years. More than 7 million medical devices have been produced at the site this year, including diagnostic and therapeutic technologies such as biopsy forceps, balloon angioplasty products and laser fibers.
“This expansion builds on our end-to-end supply chain expertise in Penang and reflects our commitment to supply life-changing technology to customers in Asia Pacific and across the globe,” said Paudie O’Connor, senior vice president, Supply Chain at Boston Scientific. “In addition to the investment in this new global distribution center, we continue to invest in fostering a workplace in Penang where all employees can find opportunities to grow in their careers.”

SEOUL, Korea, November 8, 2022— FedEx Express (FedEx), a subsidiary of FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) and one of the world’s largest express transportation companies, is bolstering support for cross-border trade and e-commerce growth in Korea with the launch of its new FedEx Incheon Gateway located at Incheon International Airport, South Korea. The new facility offers enhanced capabilities that will benefit local businesses looking to access international markets and support the growing demand for e-commerce and cold-chain shipments.
Connecting more businesses to global markets
The new Incheon Gateway spans 23,395 square meters, more than double the size of the previous facility, and is equipped with 78 conveyor belts and an advanced automated sortation system that can sort up to 12,000 packages per hour, doubling the previous sorting capacity. It also includes a 15,207-square-meter warehouse that can safely store up to 40,000 packages. With 31 weekly flights, the new facility connects Korea to over 220 countries and territories through the FedEx global network. The new Gateway supports importers and exporters including small- and medium-enterprises (SMEs) and heavy-weight shippers with greater and more reliable access to and from international markets.
“With South Korea tracking as the fourth biggest exporter in Asia last year[1] and the world’s fifth-largest e-commerce market,[2] the new Incheon Gateway will further boost our already extensive network to create possibilities for customers across the region. As trade lanes continue to diversify[3], businesses particularly across the North Pacific region will benefit from this newly opened facility as they continue to harness the full potential of global trade opportunities,” said Kawal Preet, president of the Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa (AMEA) region at FedEx Express. “The new FedEx Incheon Gateway will not only enable our customers to enjoy enhanced connectivity to the U.S., Europe and Intra- Asia markets, it will also meet customer’ growing demand for cold-chain solutions. The new facility, built with sustainability in mind, also brings us one step closer to becoming carbon neutral by 2040. We are now well placed to deliver a better experience for customers today to support their future growth.”
Expanded temperature-controlled facilities for growing cold-chain shipments
To further facilitate the reliable and safe transportation of cold-chain shipments, including samples for clinical trials and healthcare products such as vaccines as well as perishable or temperature-sensitive items, the new gateway’s cold storage area is now five times larger. The enhanced cold-chain capabilities at Incheon enable FedEx to facilitate transportation of a wider range of temperature-sensitive shipments within Korea, or to destinations within the FedEx global network. It contains three separate chambers compliant with European Guidelines (Good Distribution Practice) for temperature-controlled storage including freezer, cool, and ambient room. With decades of experience serving the healthcare industry, FedEx has been further boosting its cold-chain capabilities in priority locations since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Building sustainable facilities for carbon neutral operations
Supporting the company’s goal of global carbon neutral operations by 2040, the new Gateway has adopted many features with sustainability in mind. As a G-SEED (Green Standard for Energy and Environmental Design)-certified building, the facility will generate renewable energy through 2,400 solar panels on its rooftop, supplying approximately 19% of the facility’s energy needs per month. A green roof will reduce heat flux and energy consumption for cooling or heating. The building features 100% LED lighting to save more than 22,000kW per year versus traditional lighting and a skylight installation (more than 1,000 square meters) to increase of the amount of natural light.
“Our new Incheon Gateway will help Korean businesses tap import and export opportunities. With our state-of-the-art modern facility combined with our expertise in transporting time-definite and temperature-sensitive shipments, we’re well positioned to facilitate seamless customs clearance to support industries such as electronics, automotive, life sciences and healthcare in Korea to participate in the global supply chain,” said Wonbin Park, managing director, FedEx Express Korea. “We’re proud to launch the new facility that enables us to not only serve our customers more efficiently but adopt sustainable practices and reduce our carbon emissions.”
