Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, 30 May 2023 – GDEX Berhad (GDEX; the Group; 吉运速递, Bloomberg: GDX MK), a leading express delivery services provider, has inaugurated the operations of its RM25 million Auto Hub which will triple its sorting capacity to 350,000 shipments daily.

The new 145,000 sq ft fully automated sorting facility deploys intelligent sorting technology with a sorting accuracy of 99.99% to shorten turnaround time and reduce risk of parcel damage, elevating the Group’s customer service quality.

Approximately 30% larger than the Group’s previous sorting hub in Petaling Jaya, GDEX Auto Hub uses a double deck cross-belt sorter to maximise sorting capacity by utilising the hub’s air space.
