1.4 Project Scope (WABCO Distribution Center for ASEAN)
WABCO currently uses one a Distribution Center in Germany to serve the ASEAN market. Customer, both
Trailer/ Aftermarket customers and some Truck & Bus Manufacturers (OE), from ASEAN region place their
orders with our entity in Singapore and do pick-up products organized by themselves and under their own
responsibility in Germany. Selling party already today is WABCO Asia Private Ltd, Singapore, as an
established legal entity in Singapore.
In response to the increasing market and to improve local availability and consequently provide short lead
times including VOR orders for regional customers WABCO intends to start operation of a distribution center
in the ASEAN region. This distribution center should in the beginning serve customers in countries like e.g.,
but not limited to Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, New
Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam.
Following a high share of export business WABCO considers the use of a bonded/free-trade-zone
warehouse.
Major volume will be shipped to ASEAN AM and Trailer customers while shipments to Australia/New Zealand
are just done for special portfolio.
