Finances

Hellmann has been operating from its own location in Australia since 1987 and expanded its presence just one year later with another branch in New Zealand. Today, 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. Hellmann’s new location in Melbourne also sets a clear statement of its commitment to sustainability: The facility aims for a 5-star Green Star As-Built certification. The equipment includes a 200 kW solar system, 30,000-liter rainwater tanks, and ten charging stations for electric vehicles – measures that underline the company’s ecological commitment.

“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.”

“The opening of our new contract logistics centre 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.”
