(Perth, 24th August 2018) DB Schenker Australia has announced today that it is expanding its Perishables Logistics footprint within Australia by opening a new facility in Perth. The company, which has a strong presence in this niche on the East coast of Australia and in New Zealand, has invested in a world-class facility at their High Wycombe site, conveniently located near to both the airport and the harbor at Fremantle. The facility boasts over 500 square meters of floor space with a large anteroom, two chillers and a freezer. There is capacity to store product up to four pallets high and the site has an unbroken cold chain to maintain product integrity.
“We are thrilled to offer our services to the ever growing local and international customers of Perishables in Western Australia who are looking for a world class facility to manage their goods, goods where the producers have put their heart and soul into creating, and which deserve excellent handling to ensure it arrives in the best condition to all regions of the world,” says Ron Koehler, CEO of Schenker Australia. “The passion and dedication of our staff in this facility will assist us to achieve exemplary service to our customers.”
DB Schenker is involved in Perishables Logistics in various regions around the world and is looking to expand their Australian footprint.
