The LEGO Group is enhancing its collaboration with Kuehne+Nagel by inaugurating a new distribution centre in Truganina, located in Victoria, Australia.

Covering an area of 26,500 sq m and boasting a storage capacity of 26,000 pallets, the new centre is intended to serve LEGO’s customers for both B2C and B2B operations across Australia and New Zealand. The facility employs advanced automation to streamline operational processes while prioritising sustainability. Its automation features cutting-edge carton-reducing technology to minimise packaging waste.

Additionally, the centre includes a dual 100kW solar panel system to lower electricity consumption and contribute surplus energy back to the grid. Water-saving technologies are also in place to support onsite amenities and irrigate the surrounding plants and trees. The distribution centre has been awarded a 5-star Green Star Rating, indicating ‘Australian excellence’ in sustainable building practices, as recognised by the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA).

Troy Taylor, Vice President & General Manager for LEGO Australia, stated: “We are thrilled to collaborate with Kuehne+Nagel as our new logistics partner in the Australian market. This world-class distribution centre in Truganina will enable us to further our expansion plans in this crucial market, as we aim to reach more children and adults with our iconic LEGO bricks.”

Francis Murugan, Managing Director for Kuehne+Nagel Australia, remarked: “This project exemplifies our growth strategy and commitment to expanding our presence and distribution model in the Pacific while strengthening our partnership with the LEGO Group. More than just a fulfilment centre, it serves as a hub of efficiency, innovation, and sustainability, equipped with the latest technologies, automation, and eco-friendly practices.”
