The new logistics center spans an area equivalent to 23 football fields and is equipped with storage systems for both ambient and refrigerated temperatures. According to The Korea Herald, Chinese e-commerce platform Temu has signed a long-term lease for a large logistics center in Gimpo, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea—marking the first time a Chinese e-commerce company has owned a logistics facility in the country. Temu is also considering establishing its South Korean headquarters at this location. Strategically situated near major airports and seaports, including Incheon Airport, the center is expected to play a key role in Temu’s logistics operations in South Korea. Lotte Global Logistics, a subsidiary of the Lotte Group, will manage and operate the facility. Although Temu entered the Korean market four years later than its major competitor AliExpress, it has been expanding rapidly. Last year, the company began recruiting Korean sellers for its online platform. Now, with the launch of its first logistics center, Temu appears to be solidifying its position in this market.
