Germany-based Arvato Supply Chain Solutions has opened its first warehouse in Australia, which serves as a multi-client centre for its customers. The new warehouse offers conditions for fast distribution of products.

Due to its location in the industrial suburb of Villawood in Central Western Sydney, it is well connected to the transportation system. The new distribution centre also scores highly in terms of sustainability. A photovoltaic panel has been installed on the roof to generate renewable energy.

The building has been built with low energy requirements in mind, saving on costs and having a low climate impact. Arvato's corporate goal is to be climate neutral by 2030. With the new hall in Villawood, which is designed to be environmentally friendly, it is making an important contribution to achieving this goal.
