Logistics business, Northline, has moved into a new $16 million national service centre in Kent Town, South Australia.
The latest growth phase, following the company’s opening of a new $38 million depot in Brisbane at the end of last year, will see Northline expanding its workforce across Australia.
The expansion leverages Northline’s strong international growth in recent years, adding more than 560 partners across over 130 countries to enhance its capacity for meeting customer supply chain needs globally.
Northline CEO, Craige Whitton, said this latest development marks a new chapter for the company.
“Our international business has increased by 70 per cent in the last 12 months, and the need to enhance our capabilities across IT and logistics has never been stronger,” he said.
“This growth and our relocation to a new, custom designed service centre allows us to invest in the right people and technologies to strengthen our position in the market.”
The new $16 million national service centre will accommodate Northline’s national customer service team as well as administration support for the company’s freight management, warehousing, distribution and logistics divisions.
“We were founded here in South Australia – it is an important part of our history and our identity,” Whitton said.
“This relocation reflects our ongoing commitment to both our customers and the South Australian community, and we’re excited to contribute to further job growth and economic development in the state.”
