DAVAO CITY — FAST Logistics Group inaugurated its Davao Logistics and Crossdock Mega Hub in Barangay Indangan on June 22, 2026, adding 18,608 square meters of leasable warehouse space to the region. The facility promises to accelerate the movement of goods across Southern Mindanao and empower businesses of all sizes.
A Strategic Gateway for Southern Commerce
The new hub sits 12 kilometers from Davao International Airport and 15 kilometers from Sasa Port, giving it direct access to the region’s primary air and sea trade routes. It was designed to serve manufacturers of fast‑moving consumer goods, retailers, food companies, and agribusiness firms operating in the south. The location cuts transit times and lowers logistics costs for companies that previously relied on distant warehouses.
The facility can accommodate 13,840 pallet positions, providing substantial storage depth for high‑volume clients. Its cross‑docking capability means goods can be transferred directly from inbound to outbound trucks with minimal warehousing time. This speed‑to‑market advantage is crucial for perishable agricultural products and time‑sensitive retail deliveries. FAST Logistics CEO for logistics Manuel Onrejas Jr. said the hub strengthens the company’s ability to serve Mindanao businesses with greater speed, scale, and reliability.
Flexible Solutions for Small and Medium Enterprises
Beyond serving large corporations, the hub introduces a pay‑per‑pallet, per‑day commercial model that caters to micro, small, and medium enterprises. Growing businesses can scale their storage requirements up or down depending on seasonal demand without committing to rigid, long‑term leases. This flexibility reduces overhead costs and encourages more local entrepreneurs to formalize their distribution networks.
Aron Javier, FAST Business Unit Head for Warehousing Solutions, emphasized that high‑quality warehousing should be accessible to national brands and local startups alike. The standardized operating processes ensure inventory accuracy and consistent service levels regardless of a client’s size. For Davao’s vibrant community of food processors, handicraft exporters, and agri‑enterprises, the hub offers a professional logistics backbone that was previously out of reach.
Technology-Driven Efficiency
The entire facility operates on FAST’s proprietary Warehouse Management System, giving clients real‑time visibility into inventory levels and order status. Automated fulfillment processes reduce manual errors and speed up dispatch, while digital tracking provides transparency across the supply chain. This technology integration helps businesses plan production and sales with greater precision.
The system allows remote monitoring, enabling business owners to manage their stocks from anywhere. As Mindanao’s economy becomes increasingly digital, such infrastructure positions local enterprises to compete in both domestic and international markets. The hub effectively brings global‑standard logistics to the region’s doorstep.
Part of a Broader Mindanao Expansion
The Davao hub is not an isolated investment. Earlier in 2026, FAST inaugurated a 1.8‑hectare warehouse in Opol, Misamis Oriental, strengthening its presence in Northern Mindanao. The company also conducted a truckers’ roadshow to accredit local operators and introduced a dry leasing program that allows vehicle owners to earn guaranteed monthly income while FAST handles operations.
These moves are part of FAST’s nationwide network of over 160 hubs covering more than two million square meters of warehouse space. The company’s aggregated capacity now includes over one million dry pallet positions and 30,000 cold‑storage pallet positions. With an annual throughput of approximately one billion product cases, FAST is a dominant force in Philippine logistics.
Driving Economic Growth in the South
The mega hub is expected to generate direct employment for warehouse staff, drivers, and administrative personnel in Davao City. Its presence will also attract complementary businesses such as packaging suppliers, trucking services, and maintenance providers, creating an economic ripple effect. The facility aligns with the national government’s push to develop Mindanao as a logistics and trade center.
FAST Logistics has also committed to an environmental, social, and governance roadmap targeting net‑zero carbon emissions by 2050. Newer facilities like the Davao hub are designed with eco‑efficient operational frameworks. This balance of commercial growth and sustainability reinforces Mindanao’s position as a responsible and dynamic player in the global supply chain.
