Hellmann Worldwide Logistics has officially opened a new, state-of-the-art contract logistics centre in Truganina, 20km west of Melbourne’s CBD.
This will see the logistics provider double its warehouse capacity in Melbourne, with hopes to continue expanding its market position in the Asia-Pacific region.
“With the new branch in the Melbourne metropolitan area, we are strengthening our presence in Australia and creating the foundation for even more flexible and efficient logistics solutions,” says Mark Fitzpatrick, Regional COO Contract Logistics APAC, Hellmann Worldwide Logistics.
“The combination of strategic location, modern infrastructure, and a wide range of services offers real added value for our customers.”
Covering an area of around 19,000 m² with 18,000 pallet spaces and modern warehouse and inventory management systems, Hellmann says the location offers ideal conditions for efficient logistics processes.
Hellmann also says it is hoping to make a clear statement of its commitment to sustainability with the new site.
The facility is aiming for a five-star Green Star As-Built certification. The equipment on-site includes a 200 kW solar system, 30,000-litre rainwater tanks, and 10 charging stations for electric vehicles – measures that underline the company’s ecological commitment.
“The opening of our new contract logistics center is another milestone on our way to offering innovative and sustainable logistics solutions worldwide,” says Volker Sauerborn, Global COO Contract Logistics, Hellmann Worldwide Logistics.
“We are strategically advancing our infrastructure to meet the increasing demands of our customers – efficiently and environmentally consciously.”
