Americold expands into Tasmania
Americold, a firm that focuses on the ownership, operation and development of temperature-controlled warehouses, has expanded its Australian presence through the purchase of De Bruyn Cold Storage in Tasmania. The site is located in Wivenhoe, at the Port of Bernie.
The acquisition will increase the company’s APAC pallet positions to close to 300,000 spread across five states and 11 sites in Australia and seven sites in New Zealand.
The company operates an i3PL system that gives users visibility of their inventory at Americold sites across the different sites, states and globally.
“We are pleased to announce our expansion into Tasmania,” said Richard Winnall, Managing Director of APAC/LATAM at Americold.
“The acquisition has already enabled us to win new business from a large, quick-serve restaurant customer. Our growth in Tasmania will be a positive thing for the locals as well, with job opportunities and career advancements through a large global organisation.”
