Rectitude Holdings Ltd Boosts Supply Chain and Fleet Capacity to Meet Rising Singapore Construction Demand

• Rectitude is scaling its operations and growing its logistics fleet to address increased demand for industrial safety goods and construction supplies.
• Fueled by a strong pipeline of public infrastructure projects, the Company’s imports of materials and goods jumped 32% between January and April 2026 relative to the same timeframe in 2025.
• The Company is improving customer service by offering same-day and next-day delivery choices, establishing a structured base for long-term capacity growth and warehouse expansion.

(SeaPRwire) –   SINGAPORE, May 26, 2026 — RECTITUDE HOLDINGS LTD (Nasdaq: RECT; the “Company” or “Rectitude”), a Singapore-headquartered supplier of safety gear and associated industrial products, today revealed a substantial expansion of its supply chain, inventory capacity, and logistics framework. This operational scaling enables the Company to take advantage of a significant surge in demand within Singapore’s construction industry, which remains fueled by large-scale public infrastructure and national development initiatives.

Per forecasts from Singapore’s Building and Construction Authority (BCA), construction contracts are projected to hit between S$47 billion and S$53 billion in 2026. To sustain a growth model with reduced risk and fulfill the increased material needs of key contractors, Rectitude has ramped up its incoming shipments of high-demand safety equipment and industrial supplies. Propelled by this robust domestic demand, Rectitude’s imports of materials and goods rose 32% from January to April 2026 compared to the corresponding period in 2025.

Logistics Optimization and Fleet Expansion

To support increased delivery volumes to major job sites across the island, Rectitude has strategically built up its logistical capabilities. Key upgrades to the Company’s operational fulfillment infrastructure include:

• Fleet Enhancement: The Company has grown its dedicated logistics fleet to directly manage larger transport loads and avoid delivery delays.
• Accelerated Fulfillment: Rectitude now offers standard same-day or next-day delivery services for critical and time-sensitive job site needs.
• Off-Peak Operations: To assist clients in avoiding on-site vehicle traffic, the Company has launched specialized after-hours delivery alternatives.

Bulk shipments of essential personal protective equipment (PPE), fasteners, safety barriers, and general construction consumables are being methodically incorporated into this enhanced logistics system.

Strategic Macro Alignment and Product Innovation

The ongoing construction boom is further backed by proactive regulatory policies aimed at boosting productivity and easing resource limitations in the built environment. Recent measures announced by National Development Minister Chee Hong Tat—such as a planned three-month reduction in the hiring process for foreign construction work-permit holders by 2027 and expanded funding for automated equipment—are anticipated to greatly enhance site productivity and keep Singapore’s infrastructure projects on schedule through the end of the decade.

In line with these macro trends, Rectitude is launching updated product lines crafted to prioritize both workforce safety and site productivity. Aligned with the Company’s broader shift toward high-growth industrial sectors, these product updates are set to focus specifically on performance, durability, and emerging eco-friendly solutions.

“Our capacity to quickly expand our distribution and logistics reach directly mirrors our disciplined approach to operational preparedness,” stated Jian Zhang, Rectitude’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and Executive Director. “As Singapore’s construction sector keeps growing, contractors need fully reliable supply chains. By investing in our fleet capacity and refining delivery schedules, we help our partners stay on track with their construction timelines safely and efficiently, while creating sustainable, value-adding returns for our shareholders.”
