GAC Australia starts logistics service with new Perth warehouse
GAC Australia has opened a new consolidation warehouse in Perth, marking the company's first foray into the logistics business in parallel to its well-established shipping services at all the country's ports since 2007.
The opening of the new warehouse, located in the new Swan Brewery Estate at Canning Vale, about 20km away from Perth International Airport and Fremantle Port, is in response to growing demand for storage space and distribution services from a major client with operations in Western Australia, the company said in a statement.
The 800-square-metre facility features a large warehouse door and an 8.5 metre height that allows trailing equipment to reverse into the facility for loading and unloading. Arriving goods are consolidated and packed into pallets before being distributed to domestic and international locations.
GAC Australia's Managing Director, Scott Henderson, sees rising demand for warehousing and logistics services in the country as a result of its buoyant energy market: "In Western Australia alone, resource projects and infrastructure in the pipeline amount to billions of dollars. It is home to many local and international companies servicing the oil and gas, as well as mining equipment, technology and services (METS) sectors, presenting plenty of opportunities for project logistics and warehousing services providers.
"Having established a strong foothold in the country's shipping sector, we are now ready to expand our portfolio to provide logistics services, and Western Australia is an ideal launch pad for our logistics operations. The ability to provide integrated shipping and logistics services will allow us to serve our customers better."
