The Rhenus Group is investing a total of $20 million to expand its service offerings in the Philippines. The investment is consolidated in its new 1,000-square-meter head office in Pasay City.
The global logistics provider headquartered in Germany in a statement said the Rhenus Philippines office stands as an expanded Global Shared Service Center to strengthen support for international operations, and enhanced warehousing capabilities in 2026.
It will house a range of solutions and consolidate its entities in one location, including the following:
- Rhenus Air & Ocean: International Freight Forwarding
- Rhenus Warehousing Solutions: Warehousing & Contract Logistics
- Rhenus Freight Intelligence: Global Shared Service Center
“The opening of our new head office represents a key milestone in our expansion journey to become the leading freight forwarding provider in the market,” said Marco Heer, managing director of Rhenus Philippines, Air & Ocean.
“It is part of our growth roadmap which includes major investments in our freight and warehousing setup. This step allows us to create synergies across our business units, support future business expansion while being close to customers and partners,” Heer added.
Located within the Mall of Asia Complex, strategically positioned between the sea and air ports in the capital region Metro Manila as well as accessible to key business districts, the new office will support future business expansion and workforce growth.
Rhenus said other plans include the opening of a new state-of-the-art built-to-suit warehouse by 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.
Rhenus said its expansion in the country is in line with the rising demand for high-quality logistics and warehousing services. It cited a Mordor Intelligence report that projects the Philippine freight and logistics market to expand to $20.41 billion by 2030 from $15.26 billion this year.
“The Philippines is one of our key markets in APAC and we see tremendous potential for the years ahead,” said Joachim Hanssen, CEO APAC, Rhenus Air & Ocean.
