Businesses that handle frozen goods — distributors, food manufacturers, and exporters — often face a common challenge: freezer space. Building and maintaining cold storage in-house requires significant capital, while relying on fragmented third-party storage can complicate logistics. KHL Group addresses this by offering pallet-based cold storage rental at its central Johor facility. With 120,000 cubic feet of temperature-controlled capacity, the facility provides a practical storage option for companies operating in and around Johor.

A Central Cold Storage Facility in Johor

KHL's cold storage is part of a 66,500-square-foot facility located in Simpang Renggam, Johor. The site sits along the North-South Expressway (E2), placing it within reach of all 10 districts in Johor. This central position makes the facility a practical storage hub for businesses that need to distribute frozen goods across the state without maintaining their own cold rooms.

The cold storage section provides 120,000 cubic feet of temperature-controlled capacity. Temperatures are maintained at levels appropriate for frozen food preservation. KHL uses this space for its own products — including I DO sweet corn, O Sayang fried ice cream, and imported chicken and Wagyu beef — and makes available additional capacity for external rental on a pallet basis.

PALLET

Pallet Specifications and Rental Rates

Cold storage rental at KHL is offered on a pallet-based model. Each pallet position accommodates the following dimensions and load:

  • Pallet dimensions: 1,500mm (height) × 1,200mm × 1,200mm
  • Load capacity per pallet: 800 kg to 1 ton
  • Rental rate: RM150 per pallet per month
  • In/out handling fee: RM10 per entry (each time a pallet is placed into or removed from storage)

This pallet-based structure gives renters flexibility — businesses can scale their storage allocation up or down based on seasonal demand, inventory fluctuations, or business growth, without committing to fixed floor space or long-term infrastructure investment.

Why Simpang Renggam's Location Matters

Simpang Renggam sits at a strategic point in central Johor, directly accessible from the North-South Expressway (E2). This location offers practical advantages for distribution:

  • Reach across Johor: From Simpang Renggam, refrigerated vehicles can cover all 10 Johor districts — including Johor Bahru, Batu Pahat, Muar, Kluang, and Segamat — within reasonable driving times.
  • Northern corridor access: The E2 connects south to Johor Bahru and Singapore, and north to Kuala Lumpur and beyond, making the facility viable for businesses serving multiple states.
  • Port connectivity: For exporters, Simpang Renggam is positioned between the Port of Tanjung Pelepas and Johor Port in Pasir Gudang, both within reach for containerised frozen shipments.

Companies seeking cold storage in Johor's central region often choose Simpang Renggam because it reduces the distance products must travel to reach end customers across the state — compared with facilities located at the extreme north or south of Johor.

Who Benefits from Pallet-Based Cold Storage

KHL's cold storage rental is designed for businesses that handle frozen products but do not want the capital and operational burden of running their own cold rooms. Typical users include:

  • Frozen food distributors — holding stock closer to their customer base in Johor reduces transit time and logistics cost per delivery.
  • Food manufacturers — companies producing frozen goods in Johor can store finished products at KHL's facility, freeing production floor space and deferring investment in expanded freezer capacity.
  • F&B businesses — restaurants, catering operators, and central kitchens that need buffer stock of frozen ingredients can rent pallet space rather than installing walk-in freezers.
  • Exporters — businesses shipping frozen products to Singapore or international markets can stage goods at Simpang Renggam before container loading, using KHL's storage as a consolidation point.

Because KHL already stores its own frozen products — corn, fried ice cream, chicken, and Wagyu beef — at the same facility, the cold storage infrastructure is actively maintained and temperature-monitored as part of daily operations. Renters benefit from a facility that is in constant use, not one that sits idle between tenant check-ins.

Infrastructure That Supports Reliable Storage

KHL's 66,500-square-foot facility in Simpang Renggam houses processing lines, packaging stations, and the 120,000-cubic-foot cold storage section under one roof. The facility operates with HALAL, HACCP, and ISO 22000 certifications — meaning the cold storage environment is managed under documented food safety protocols that cover temperature control, hygiene, and traceability.

For renters, this translates to:

  • Temperature consistency — cold storage conditions are monitored and maintained to frozen food standards.
  • Segregated storage — renter pallets are stored in clearly designated areas within the cold room, with records maintained for each pallet position.
  • On-site presence — the facility operates six days a week (Monday to Saturday), with staff present during operating hours to manage in/out movements.
  • Documented processes — HALAL, HACCP, and ISO 22000 certification requirements apply to the entire facility, including rental storage areas.

Cold Storage Without the Capital Commitment

Building cold storage from scratch requires significant investment — in construction, refrigeration equipment, power infrastructure, and ongoing maintenance. For many frozen food businesses in Johor, renting pallet space at an established facility is a more practical way to secure the storage they need. KHL's cold storage rental offers a straightforward model: RM150 per pallet per month, RM10 per in/out movement, at a central Johor location with the infrastructure already in place.
