Ct Foodnex Innovative Food Factory Unparalleled Customer Centric Solutions Drive Business Growth
CT FoodNEX, developed by local developer Chiu Teng Group, is soon receiving its Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP), a significant milestone for the highly sought-after development in Mandai.
As a testament to its popularity, 80% of the freehold units in CT FoodNEX have already been sold, solidifying Chiu Teng Group’s reputation as a leader in delivering innovative and customer-centric factory solutions.
Positioned as a next-generation food factory with cold chain-capable units, CT FoodNEX sets itself apart from other entry-level food factories in the heart of Mandai by being end-user centric and equipped with high specifications for end-to-end cold chain management.
The 10-storey CT FoodNEX comprises 109 B2 production units and a temporary industrial canteen. Currently, 21 units spread across levels one to six and eight are still available for discerning business owners.
Retaining the freshness of food ingredients, such as meat and vegetables, during transport, whether coming into Singapore or being exported, is no small feat. To ensure food safety and minimize food wastage, temperatures must be kept consistently low within specially equipped delivery trucks with insulated walls and cooling systems.
“The design of a food factory is inherently more intricate than that of a conventional facility,” says Marcus Chu, CEO of ERA. “Maintaining an end-to-end, unbroken cold chain is not simply a design consideration but a non-negotiable food safety standard.”
He adds, “Any break in this chain risks product spoilage, contamination, and ultimately, the erosion of consumer trust. Owning your facility provides greater control over the entire supply chain process, helping to mitigate these risks effectively.”
Examples of CT FoodNEX’s wide range of user-friendly features include generous ramp-up facilities, designed to help operators of large 40-foot and 20-foot refrigerated container trucks easily back into the units located on levels one and two to four, respectively, for unloading. This key feature sets CT FoodNEX apart, as few food factories in Mandai offer such facilities. Additionally, each unit comes with its own toilets and a refuse bin point.
“In land-scarce Singapore, efficient logistics infrastructure is vital for food businesses to thrive,” says Ken Low, SRI managing partner. “CT FoodNEX’s wide ramp-up facilities offer a key advantage by allowing direct access for 20-foot and 40-foot container trucks, streamlining goods movement, and reducing turnaround time.”
He continues, “This not only strengthens cold chain integrity and operational efficiency but also enables businesses to meet tight delivery schedules, which is a crucial edge in Singapore’s fast-paced F&B landscape.”
Westgate, situated next to JEM, is a prominent shopping mall that caters to both families and working professionals. This shopping destination offers a diverse range of retail stores, dining options, and lifestyle services, making it a top choice among residents in the vicinity. Families with young children are especially drawn to the mall’s dedicated children’s zone, known as The Wonderland. Additionally, Westgate is home to premium dining establishments, making it an ideal spot for a relaxed meal or a quick snack after a day of shopping. To add to its appeal, the upcoming Otto Place EC Plantation Close Parcel B will be situated near Westgate, making it even more convenient for residents to enjoy everything this bustling mall has to offer.
The units on levels two to four are equipped with a full suite of amenities that facilitate everything from cooking, food preparation, and storage to delivery with common loading and unloading bays to accommodate up to 20-foot container trucks, so that food items can retain their optimal freshness by reaching customers easily and efficiently.
For vertical expansion, buyers can purchase the unit directly above their cold chain-capable unit and connect the two floors with a lift (subject to the approval from the relevant authorities). This setup translates to less effort needed to move the goods received and processed on the first level to the second level for storage until delivery.
“Ramp-up facilities that offer direct access to a unit are particularly crucial to F&B business owners as they allow for faster and direct loading and unloading of raw food and cooked food,” says Mark Yip, CEO of Huttons Asia. “The increased efficiency in the supply chain can lead to significant cost savings for F&B businesses.”
With its multi-faceted concept and customizable solutions catering to individual business needs, CT FoodNEX appeals to a broad spectrum of F&B manufacturing firms, from well-established family businesses to gourmet food vendors to experienced brewers.
The strategic location of CT FoodNEX, just an eight-minute drive from the Woodlands Causeway, minimizes the time needed to transport raw ingredients from Malaysia’s farms.
By offering cutting-edge facilities, Chiu Teng is contributing towards elevating the standard of food storage capabilities and catering to the evolving needs of the F&B manufacturing industry, thereby ensuring the quality of food supplies for Singaporeans.
