Hellmann Worldwide Logistics opens a new, state-of-the-art contract logistics center in Truganina, Australia. With its sustainable new site, the company 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.
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 site offers ideal conditions for efficient logistics processes. The convenient location with direct access to the West Gate Tunnel enables quick connections to key economic areas such as Greater Melbourne, Port Melbourne, and the central business district of the economically strong metropolis. This is a decisive competitive advantage, especially with regard to time-critical supply chains. The range of services includes the entire portfolio of contract logistics: from goods receipt, warehousing, and inventory management to order picking, various value-added services such as repacking, labeling, or shrink-wrapping, as well as goods dispatch, transport management, and returns processing.
"With the new site 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."

"We are strategically advancing our infrastructure to meet the increasing demands of our customers – efficiently and environmentally consciously."
