Toll Group has opened a new state-of-the-art healthcare logistics warehouse in Melbourne.
Located within the Tullamarine Airport Business Park, the 10,000-square-metre custom-built distribution centre is a TGA licensed site specifically designed to support life sciences and healthcare logistics as well as the unique requirements of customers – including Toll’s valued strategic partner, CSL.
It boasts operational capabilities such as controlled ambient, cold chain and ultra-low frozen product storage which allow Toll to handle a wide range of sensitive healthcare products with the utmost precision and care.
Another standout feature of the facility is its strategic location which provides Toll with access to major transportation hubs across Melbourne including the airport, seaport, rail terminals and critical road-freight arterials.
“We were honoured to have some special guests and VIPs join our Toll team including Managing Director, Alan Beacham, Executive Director, Mikiyasu Yuasa, President of Government and Defence, Perry Singh, and General Manager of Healthcare, Michael Lawrence, to officially open the facility and see some of the advanced technology available to assist government and industry with future healthcare logistics challenges,” Toll said in a statement online.
With sustainability also at the core of Toll’s operations, the facility incorporates various eco-friendly practices and technologies.
The site, for example, gets 100-per-cent of its power from the Melbourne Airport’s independent solar power network.
It also has access to 20,000 litres of sustainable sourced water through its site-specific irrigation system and smart use of grey water.
In addition, it is the process of securing 5-star Green Star Rating.
In other news, National Heavy Vehicle Regulator CEO, Sal Petroccitto, has announced his resignation.
