KUALA LUMPUR, March 26 – Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Sdn Bhd (Perodua) has expanded its parts distribution operations centre in Kota Kinabalu to a larger facility to expedite the delivery time for parts and cater for larger inventory.
The move would increase the number of line items by over 200 per cent to 6,600 units from 2,200 units and increase the total stock value by 329 per cent to RM1.2 million from RM280,000 previously.

“With this distribution centre fully operational, we are targeting an annual growth of 26 per cent for Sabah,” he said in a statement today.
