JD Logistics, a subsidiary of Chinese e-commerce giant JD.com, is expanding its footprint in Australia with a new state-of-the-art distribution facility in Derrimut, Victoria. The high-tech fulfilment centre will feature advanced robotics and automation to serve high-growth sectors including retail, agrifood, clean energy, and consumer electronics.
