Heliconia Capital makes strategic investment in Sin Chew Woodpaq to support regional expansion
In order to boost regional expansion and innovation in specialized logistics solutions, Heliconia Capital Management has signed and secured a strategic investment in M3 SG Pte Ltd, the holding company of Sin Chew Woodpaq Pte Ltd, a logistics provider in Singapore.
In a statement released, Sin Chew Woodpaq said that this partnership strengthens the company’s engineering and precision handling capabilities to meet the growing demand for specialized logistics in high-tech sectors like advanced manufacturing, semiconductors, and aerospace—sectors that need highly customized packaging and logistics solutions to protect valuable, sensitive equipment.
“Our focus has always been on staying ahead of the evolving and growing needs of high-tech industries. With Heliconia’s strategic support, we now have the valuable opportunity to scale our efforts inorganically and organically, and further strengthen our engineering and precision handling logistics capabilities to meet the regional market demands,
“Importantly, this partnership goes beyond investment—it’s a shared vision. Together, we aim to advance Singapore’s logistics landscape and deliver world-class solutions to support the continued growth and success of high-tech industries in the region,” said Calvin Goh, Chief Executive Officer of Sin Chew Woodpaq and M3 SG.
In addition to its present operations in Singapore and Johor Bahru, Malaysia, Sin Chew Woodpaq intends to grow into important port areas in Malaysia and Thailand, two markets with rapidly expanding semiconductor industries that are expected to generate $18.54 billion and $11.51 billion in revenue by 2025, respectively.
Through M3 SG, the business will look into making strategic acquisitions of other specialized logistics firms to support its regional expansion.
Additionally, businesses in related industries like specialized packaging and equipment commissioning and testing will be examined.
With an emphasis on creating industry-ready talent through proprietary training, Sin Chew Woodpaq plans to double its workforce over the next five years in order to support its growth and innovation roadmap.
In order to improve engineering protections for vital cargo, the company will also strengthen its internal research and development team. This will involve designing packaging systems with superior durability, cushioning, and contamination control in order to lower risks and prevent expensive delays.
The company intends to increase its physical footprint in Singapore by 2026 by building a new 300,000-square-foot production facility with a state-of-the-art manufacturing consolidation and logistics hub. This facility will include temperature and humidity-controlled environments for the integration of semiconductor equipment during pre-shipment and post-shipment staging.
