Pallet pooling company Loscam has opened a new Sydney facility that's expected to improve its local repair capacity by more than 50 per cent.
Over 100 guests gathered for the opening of the depot, which is located at the arterial roads of the M4 and M7 in Erskine Park NSW.
The facility is expected to enhance operating efficiency, including 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 hectares, the 4400 sqm depot improves Loscam’s local repair capacity and has 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 a 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.
Erskine Park is Loscam’s second new facility opened in Australia this year after the Richland depot in Brisbane three months earlier.
Loscam president Sirin Limpaitoon said the depot had two main objectives: to enhance Loscam’s support to customers with development and changes in the supply chain; and incorporate environmentally friendly elements into each part of its operations.
"It’s also solid proof of our continuous investment in infrastructure to support the growth of our Australian business,” he said.
