Shared infrastructure, services and facilities – ASP tenants enjoy the benefit of shared infrastructure and value-added services including facilities management, ICT services, centralised security, logistic services, Conference facilities, canteen and healthcare facilities.

State-of-the-art ICT infrastructure – ASP provides advanced Information and Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure and services. Tenants are offered a wide range of services including affordable routing IP telephony service, broadband internet and email, server access, back-up and data recovery services, ICT support, access control and CCTV monitoring.

World-class production environment: The design of the ASP is modern with aesthetically-appealing gardens and common areas.

Turnkey buildings developed to tenant requirements – Factories are developed to tenant requirements and legislative approvals. The design and finishes of the buildings are governed by the ASP’s architectural guidelines and meet international automotive standards.

Logistics networks – ASP tenants benefit from warehousing and distribution services that are rendered by independent service providers. A significant benefit to ASP tenants is a centrally-located container depot, which is able to handle all inbound and outbound container traffic.
