ALP opens OMEGA 1 Bangna smart warehouse spanning 260,000 sq m with Zero CAPEX model
Ally Logistic Property (Thailand), or ALP, has launched OMEGA 1 Bangna, a new smart warehouse project on a total area of more than 260,000 square metres in the Bangna-EEC economic corridor, accommodating more than 160,000 pallet positions. Chali Chang, Co-Founder and CEO of ALP, said the project develops the We Invest, You Operate concept through an Infrastructure-as-a-Service business model, under which ALP invests in and manages the building, automation hardware, software and maintenance, while tenants pay for services based on actual usage. This allows operators to access automation without bearing upfront investment, or Zero CAPEX, for racking systems, robotic cranes and automation infrastructure. The project installs a 40-metre-high automated storage and retrieval system, or AS/RS, along with high-speed cranes, which the company says work three times faster than forklifts and manual labour and raise operational efficiency by up to 35% compared with conventional warehouses. It also uses the ALPOS operating system to connect warehouse management, robots and automation on a single data platform, and is designed to LEED Gold standards. ALP is backed by partners and financial institutions in Thailand and abroad, including CapitaLand Investment Limited, Pruksa Holding, Cathay Life Insurance and Malaysia's Employees Provident Fund. In 2022, ALP co-invested in the CapitaLand SEA Logistics Fund, which has total equity of 400 million Singapore dollars. Over the past 10 years, ALP and its partners have invested a cumulative total of more than 2 billion US dollars. In the first half of 2026, the company managed more than 20 warehouses across Asia, with a combined area of more than 1.3 million square metres. It aims over the long term to develop 48 smart warehouses in eight countries, lifting managed area to 8 million square metres with total investment of more than 8 billion US dollars. OMEGA 1 Bangna is now open for operators to inquire and apply to lease space, and ALP plans to expand the model to other strategic locations in Thailand and Southeast Asia.
