ALP Launches RM500 Million Smart Cold Chain Facility in Malaysia

ALP Launches Smart Cold Chain Facility in Shah Alam

What Happened

Ally Logistic Property has launched its first purpose-built smart cold chain facility in Malaysia. The RM500 million project, named OMEGA 2 Shah Alam, is located in Shah Alam, Selangor, and is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2028.

The project is also ALP’s second OMEGA development in the Klang Valley. According to the company, OMEGA 2 Shah Alam is designed as Malaysia’s first developer-built multi-storey Automated Storage and Retrieval System cold chain facility.

How It Works

OMEGA 2 Shah Alam will cover a 3.64-hectare site and feature approximately 5.36 hectares of built-up space. The facility is planned with more than 30,000 pallet positions, making it a large-scale automated cold chain infrastructure project for Malaysia’s logistics market.

The facility is designed as a multi-tenant logistics hub. It will support shared supply chain operations and include ambient, air-conditioned, chilled, and frozen storage zones for food and beverage, pharmaceutical, retail, and e-commerce customers.

Why It Matters

Malaysia’s cold chain infrastructure is still developing in areas such as automation, scalability, and energy efficiency. ALP said the project is designed to address these gaps through a smarter and more sustainable cold chain model.

The multi-tenant model is especially important for B2B users. Instead of each company building separate cold storage assets, multiple supply chains can operate within a shared infrastructure system. This can reduce duplication, improve space utilization, and lower energy pressure across the network.

B2B Impact

For food, pharmaceutical, retail, and e-commerce companies in Malaysia, OMEGA 2 Shah Alam may provide access to more scalable temperature-controlled infrastructure without requiring each brand to invest in dedicated facilities.

For cold chain packaging, monitoring, and warehouse automation suppliers, this project points to rising demand for integrated solutions. Automated cold storage requires reliable temperature monitoring, pallet handling systems, insulated dock operations, WMS integration, and energy-efficient refrigeration design.

For B2B logistics buyers, the key message is clear: cold chain infrastructure in Southeast Asia is moving toward larger, smarter, shared, and more automated platforms. Companies that can support multi-temperature operations, digital visibility, and energy efficiency will be better positioned in future cold chain projects.
