Volkswagen Malaysia Partners PKT Logistics To Enhance Inbound, Outbound Logistics Efficiency

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 20 (Bernama) -- Volkswagen Group Malaysia (VGM) has forged a partnership with PKT Logistics (M) Sdn Bhd (PKT) in an effort to further enhance its logistics efficiency in the country.

In a joint statement today, the companies said the signing ceremony of framework agreement for transportation and logistics services was held on Aug 5, 2025 at PKT’s ‘The Ship’ campus in Batu Kawan, Penang.

“The signing ceremony is more than just the formalisation of a contract. It marks a strategic milestone in our journey at Volkswagen Group Malaysia,” said VGM managing director Dr Susanne Lehmann.

Meanwhile, PKT’s group chief executive and managing director Datuk Seri Dr Michael Tio said the company’s priority is to ensure seamless, efficient, and reliable logistics operations that support Volkswagen’s regional supply chain.

“With decades of expertise in the automotive logistics sector and partnerships with several global brands, PKT remains steadfast in our commitment to sustainability and environmental, social, and governance (ESG)-driven practices,” he said.

The decision to bring PKT on board as the key enabler into VGM’s growth strategy marks a significant step forward. The partnership is aligned with the ongoing transformation in the logistics industry which focuses on efficiency, transparency, proactivity, and customer experience.

“This partnership will not only enhance VGM’s inbound and outbound logistics efficiency but also contribute to Malaysia’s ambition to become a regional logistics hub.

“With PKT’s proven capabilities, VGM is confident in strengthening the agility and resilience of its supply chain, which are critical in supporting the group’s growth in the years ahead,” it added.
