Furthermore, ID Logistics expanded its operations internationally by starting a fourth site in Taiwan for a major e-commerce player, Coupang. This expansion now facilitates over 40,000 square meters of operational space with a dedicated workforce.
In the U.S., after establishing its initial distribution center for a global leader in snacking, the company continues to expand its footprint with a second location now operational in Colorado.

As ID Logistics looks towards the future, they remain committed to enhancing productivity at their newly opened facilities and ensuring that existing operations are optimized to meet rising customer demands. Additionally, they have recently refinanced their syndicated credit facility, which not only improves financial terms but also expands their capacity for strategic investments.
