Loscam's Executive and regional management team, together with over 100 valued guests gathered at Erskine Park Sydney for Asia-Pacific's largest pallet pooling company's latest depot opening.
Strategically located at the arterial roads of the M4 & M7 and within close proximity to many of their major local customer base, the facility is expected to enhance operating efficiency, including immediate improvement in truck loading/unloading turnaround, repair capabilities and flexibility in managing Loscam's growing range of products.
Occupying a total area of 4.18 hectare, this 4,400 sqm depot improves Loscam's local repair capacity by more than 50% and with a storage capacity exceeding 280,000 pallets. Quality assurance and environmental protection aspects are incorporated into the design of the facility in addition to the improved necessities including a segregated plastics wash bay supported by rainwater catchment system, an eco-friendly 600sqm office and LED lighting throughout.
A new and fully automated repair line with quality checking system allows equipment repair in a time efficient manner, and more importantly meeting the high-quality benchmark set by Loscam Australia's 3500 customers.
Erskine Park is Loscam's second new facility opened in Australia this year after the Richland depot in Brisbane just 3 months earlier.
