Hellmann Worldwide Logistics has opened a new, modern contract logistics center in Truganina, Australia.

With its new site, Hellmann doubles its warehouse capacity in the Melbourne metropolitan area and further expands its market position in the Asia-Pacific region.

"This strategic step on its international growth path expands the full-service provider's capacity to further enhance its customer service and deliver an even broader portfolio of innovative and sustainable logistics solutions to both existing and potential new customers," it said.

Hellmann has been operating from its own site in Australia since 1987 and expanded its presence just one year later with another branch in New Zealand.

Currently, the logistics provider offers comprehensive full-service logistics solutions along the entire supply chain from a total of seven locations in Australia and New Zealand, in the major cities of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, and Darwin, as well as Auckland and Christchurch.

With this strong presence in the fast-growing Asia-Pacific region, Hellmann is underlining its role as an international logistics partner for customized, digital, and sustainable supply chain solutions.

In addition, the new multi-user site provides flexible and scalable logistics solutions for customers from various industries, including automotive, healthcare & pharma, food and beverages, and other consumer goods.

Covering an area of around 19,000 m² with 18,000 pallet spaces and modern warehouse and inventory management systems, the location offers ideal conditions for efficient logistics processes.

The new site in Melbourne also includes sustainable features such as a 200 kW solar system, 30,000-liter rainwater tanks, and ten charging stations for electric vehicles, as the facility aims for a 5-star Green Star As-Built certification. 

"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."

"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."
