Self Storage Awards Asia Gala Dinner announces winners at Self Storage Expo Asia 2026

BANGKOK, THAILAND, June 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Self Storage Association Asia (SSAA) has announced the winners of the Self Storage Awards Asia 2026, recognising outstanding operators, suppliers and industry leaders from across the region.

Presented during the Self Storage Expo Asia 2026 Gala Dinner in Bangkok, Thailand, the Awards celebrate excellence in customer experience, operational performance, technology, sustainability, leadership and business growth across Asia’s self storage industry.

This year’s winners reflect the continued evolution of self storage across Asia, with operators investing in better customer service, smarter technology, stronger governance, more sustainable practices and expanded services for both consumers and businesses. As urbanisation, e-commerce and flexible space needs continue to reshape Asian cities, self storage is becoming an increasingly important part of modern urban infrastructure.

“The 2026 winners represent the strength, innovation and professionalism now shaping the self storage industry across Asia,” said Andrew Work, Executive Director of the Self Storage Association Asia. “From customer service and technology to ESG, leadership and business growth, this year’s award entries show how operators and suppliers are raising standards and building greater trust with consumers, investors and governments.”
