Hong Kong-based Crown Worldwide Group, a privately owned logistics company, has strengthened its India presence with the launch of a new integrated facility in Coimbatore, underlining the company’s long-term commitment to one of its fastest-growing global markets.
Spread across a 4.5-acre site, the new facility is designed to support the growing demand for storage, information management and workplace asset solutions from businesses across India.
Facility designed for future expansion
The Coimbatore facility has been developed with future scalability in mind and currently supports a Phase 1 capacity of over 468,000 Standard Carton Equivalents (SCE).
The company said Phase 2 expansion will add another 45,000 sq. ft., taking the facility’s total capacity to around 720,000 SCE without disrupting ongoing operations.
The site will support multiple business verticals including Crown Relocations and Crown Workspace, along with its Renew Centre, which focuses on refurbishing and reusing workplace assets.
Focus on storage and information management
Crown Worldwide Group Group CEO Jennifer Harvey, said:“As Asian economies continue to grow, so does the demand for infrastructure partners. India is one of our fastest growing markets and this new facility strengthens our ability to support clients with physical document and corporate asset storage, digitalisation, and information management solutions.”
Technology-driven operations at the core
Designed for scale and operational efficiency, the facility integrates infrastructure and digital systems capable of managing high operational volumes.
A centralised building management system enables real-time monitoring of key functions including fire safety, climate control and electrical systems across Crown’s global network.
Expansion aligned with rising client demand
The company said the Phase 2 expansion is aimed at supporting the next wave of demand as businesses scale operations and data management requirements become increasingly complex.
Crown Worldwide Group CEO, Asia Tze Shen Kong,said: “We invest in markets with sustained growth and India continues to stand out in that regard. This facility significantly strengthens our ability to serve clients operating in and out of India.”
Facility prioritises operational resilience
Crown said the Coimbatore site has been equipped with multiple safety and security systems to ensure operational continuity and asset protection.
The facility includes fire protection systems aligned with Indian Standards, backed by a 530,000-litre water reserve, full-site hydrant coverage and in-warehouse sprinklers.
South India demand shapes expansion strategy
Crown Worldwide Group Regional Managing Director, South Asia Srinivas Krishnan, said: “India is not just a growth market for Crown, it is increasingly central to how we are building capacity for the region. This facility strengthens our network while preparing us for the scale and complexity of demand we are seeing from clients in South India.”
