Sheng Siong is investing in the future with the groundbreaking of a new S$520 million integrated headquarters and distribution centre in Sungei Kadut, marking the supermarket chain’s largest investment to date. Scheduled for completion in 2029, the seven-storey facility will occupy a site around 2.5 times larger than its existing Mandai Link distribution centre, spanning more than 61,000 sqm. Designed to support a growing retail network of over 120 stores, the new hub reflects Sheng Siong’s long-term plans to strengthen its operations as it continues expanding across Singapore.
The state-of-the-art facility will feature automated storage and retrieval systems, robotics, intelligent warehouse management technology, and multi-temperature storage zones, allowing products to move through the supply chain more efficiently and reach stores faster. Beyond boosting logistics capabilities, the investment is also expected to create opportunities for employees to take on higher-skilled roles as automation becomes more deeply integrated into day-to-day operations.
Founded in 1985, Sheng Siong has grown into one of Singapore’s leading supermarket operators, with 90 outlets islandwide today. At the groundbreaking ceremony, Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong highlighted the retailer’s role in strengthening the broader retail ecosystem through long-term partnerships and innovation, while Group CEO Lim Hock Chee reaffirmed that despite advances in automation, people will continue to remain at the heart of the company’s growth strategy.
