SCX Secures Three Prime Sites in Bang Na, Laem Chabang, and Amata to Capitalize on Diverse Investment Trends

Aggressive Expansion: Adding 140,000 Sq. M. of Warehouse and Factory Space Toward a 1,000,000 Sq. M. Roadmap

 

 

SCX continues to expand its warehouse portfolio in line with its roadmap to reach 1,000,000 square meters by 2029. The company has acquired land in three strategic locations—Bang Na, Laem Chabang, and Amata—totaling 140,000 square meters. Plans are underway to develop three new warehouse and factory projects, utilizing both greenfield and brownfield approaches. This initiative aims to build a robust logistics network to support the automotive industry as well as import-export businesses, following the “Corridor, Not Just Land” concept. Demand for warehouse space nationwide remained strong throughout the first half of the year, with average occupancy rates exceeding 90% and significant waiting lists for existing locations—underscoring a prime opportunity for new warehouse developments.

 

Rachata Nanthakhwang, Chief Executive Officer of SCX Corporation Co., Ltd. (SCX)—a subsidiary of SC Asset Corporation Public Company Limited (SC)—revealed that SCX remains committed to expanding its warehouse business under “SCX Logistics.” The company is actively pursuing its roadmap to achieve a total warehouse footprint of 1,000,000 square meters by 2029, having recently acquired land in three strategic locations for the phased development of factories and warehouses for lease. The portfolio includes both “greenfield” developments—building new warehouses from the ground up—and “brownfield” investments, which involve expanding or enhancing existing warehouse and factory facilities that already have an established customer base. These projects consist of: 1. SCX Logistics Bangna KM.22 (90,000 sq.m.), 2. SCX Logistics Laemchabang 2 (42,000 sq.m.), and 3. SCX Logistics Amata Chonburi Phase 7 (8,000 sq.m.), totaling 140,000 square meters across all three sites.

 

“The selection of these three plots of land aligns with our ‘Corridor, Not Just Land’ strategy. We are not simply acquiring land to build warehouses; rather, we specifically select sites located along key economic corridors. We develop these into warehouses that bridge production and distribution, while also facilitating international trade—ultimately delivering maximum value to our business and industrial clients through our logistics network,” said Mr. Rachata.

 

Bangna KM.22, in particular, serves as a vital strategic location for a wide range of sectors, including e-commerce, consumer products, data centers, and logistics—with a strong emphasis on the automotive and auto-parts industry. The area hosts production bases and assembly plants for top-tier automotive manufacturers, along with their associated supply chains. Furthermore, its proximity to numerous industrial estates and its connectivity to the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) allow for seamless distribution of goods into that region.

 

Meanwhile, the Laemchabang site… This location serves as a vital link connecting the industrial sector in the Eastern region with international trade markets. SCX Logistics has previously developed one project in this area; the new site is situated just 7 kilometers from Laem Chabang Port. This aligns with the Phase 3 development plan for Laem Chabang Port, which aims to expand capacity to 18 million TEUs and 3 million vehicles per year—an ideal setting for industrial sectors requiring warehouse facilities in close proximity to the port.

 

Amata is a key industrial hub within the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), where demand for warehouse space remains consistently high. This new plot is located within Phase 7 of the Amata Chonburi Industrial Estate and is well-positioned to support both established core industries and Thailand’s “New S-Curve” sectors, including automotive and parts, electric vehicles (EVs), electronics and components, robotics, chemicals, food, and medical industries. Furthermore, this acquisition marks the company’s first “brownfield” investment, allowing for the immediate generation of rental income.

 

Mr. Rachata noted that the overall demand for warehouse space in Thailand remains robust, with the national average occupancy rate reaching approximately 90.2% during the first half of 2026. Meanwhile, projects developed by SCX Logistics across various locations have achieved a 100% occupancy rate. Some clients have secured long-term contracts exceeding 30 years—well above the typical duration for warehouse leases—and there is even a waiting list for certain locations, should the company decide to expand its available space.

 

“This situation…” Reflecting the sustained, high demand from both traditional and emerging industries planning to invest in Thailand, SCX continues to expand its warehouse portfolio in line with its 1,000,000-square-meter roadmap. The company is also developing facilities within each warehouse to address the specific requirements of individual industries. Revenue from three new warehouse sites is expected to be progressively recognized, starting with the SCX Logistics Amata Chonburi Phase 7 project—a brownfield investment that has already begun contributing to the company’s revenue,” Mr. Rachata concluded.

 

SCX Corporation Co., Ltd. (SCX), a subsidiary of SC Asset Corporation Public Company Limited (SC), serves as the “Engine 2” for the SC Group, driving its growth. The company focuses on building a robust recurring-income business to support the group’s long-term, sustainable expansion. Its operations—comprising SCX Logistics, SCX Hospitality, and SCX Working Solutions—encompass warehouses, factories, hotels, office buildings, and clean energy solutions. Guided by the vision “The Prospering Expedition” and the mission “For The Way Forward,” SCX aims to create long-term value through investments, business development, and strategic partnerships.
