Mober From Philippines Expands to Thailand for IKEA Delivery Operations

June 2025

Mober, a logistics technology company based in the Philippines, recently began its operations in Thailand as part of its regional expansion strategy. The move responds to the increasing demand for efficient delivery services, particularly in the context of rising e-commerce activity. Online retail in Thailand grew by more than 30% over the past year, creating a need for stronger logistics infrastructure.

Mober plans to establish a network that combines advanced technology with local operational knowledge to improve last-mile delivery for businesses and consumers. The company intends to invest in infrastructure and hire local employees to improve supply chain performance and support the growing e-commerce market.

John Tan, CEO of Mober, stated that the company’s entry into Thailand represents more than a business expansion. He said Mober’s goal is to improve the speed and reliability of deliveries. The firm plans to employ more than 500 staff members over the next year, contributing to job creation and skills development in the logistics sector.

The launch comes as logistics companies across the region adjust to long-term changes in consumer behavior brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. As customers expect faster and more reliable delivery, firms are investing in technology and regional networks to stay competitive.

Mober’s entry into the Thai market reflects its intention to secure a position in Southeast Asia’s evolving logistics industry. The company aims to build a scalable delivery model that addresses the changing needs of both e-commerce platforms and end users.
