Leading freight and logistics provider, Mondiale VGL, has continued its expansion across Australia with the sod now turned on a new purpose-built distribution and container storage facility in Western Australia.
Located in the ASCEND Industrial Estate at Jandakot Airport, the 16,400-square-metre facility will encompass warehousing and office space alongside a container-rated hardstand which boasts a storage capacity of more than 700 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU).
Mondiale VGL Group CEO, Ray Meade, said the facility will grow the company’s Australian footprint and service offering.
“Our goal is to build a significant global supply chain operation with its roots in the Asia-Pacific region and we are firmly on the path to achieving that, with a strong position across Australia, New Zealand, Asia, Europe and America,” he said.
“The addition of purpose-built distribution and storage facilities in strategic, high-volume locations, like Jandakot Airport, is an important part of our growth strategy and further enhances the connectivity, efficiency and capabilities we provide to our customers.”
The facility is designed to maximise sustainable production through a focus on initiatives that improve operational and energy efficiency.
It will contain sustainable features, including a 99kW solar array with a 100kwH battery energy storage system (BESS).
“Working with developer and estate manager, Dexus, and utilising their industry experience has allowed us to build a warehouse with superior logistic capabilities and increase sustainability measures to support Mondial VGL’s overarching ESG strategy and that of our customers,” Meade said.
The ASCEND industrial estate is well-connected to different transport routes, which poses a competitive advantage for Mondiale VGL’s distribution access.
The site is one minute from the Roe Highway, 15 minutes from Perth CBD and 20 minutes from Perth Airport and the Fremantle Port.
Upon opening, Mondiale VGL will join current tenants at the ASCEND lot at Jandakot including Amazon, Kmart, Aldi and other large corporations.
Practical completion of the facility is expected in Q2 2025.
