Toll Group has announced the construction of a new 10,000-square-metre state-of-the-art healthcare facility at Tullamarine, near Melbourne.
Toll is a leading supply chain partner to CSL Seqirus, and the facility is being custom built to support CSL Seqirus’ operations.
The warehouse and distribution centre will be situated next to the future CSL Seqirus plant, a new world-class biotech manufacturing facility in Australia which will supply influenza vaccines to Australia and the rest of the world.
The state-of-the-art facility will use innovative cell-based technology to produce influenza vaccines for use in both influenza pandemics and seasonal vaccination programs – and will be the only cell-based influenza vaccine manufacturing facility in the Southern Hemisphere.
Toll Group President, Government & Defence, Perry Singh, said the facility will bolster Toll’s tailored support for CSL Seqirus by handling both finished goods distribution and supplying raw materials and packaging to the CSL Seqirus manufacturing facility.
“We are proud to strengthen our partnership with CSL Seqirus and expand our footprint in the healthcare logistics sector,” he said.
“This new facility exemplifies our commitment to delivering high-quality, tailored supply chain solutions to meet the evolving needs of our customers.”
In addition to the Tullamarine facility, Toll opened new warehouse in Richlands, Queensland, in April 2023 – further demonstrating its dedication to enhancing healthcare logistics infrastructure across Australia.
“The facilities are part of Toll’s broader multi-million-dollar investment creating advanced warehouse management solutions to meet the changing dynamics in the healthcare sector, and providing customers with the logistical support they need,” Singh said.
Toll’s Tullamarine warehouse and distribution centre is due to commence operations in August this year.
With operations commencing, Toll aims to enhance efficiency and timeliness through just-in-time services.
