Suntory Oceania has inaugurated its new $13 million warehouse at its manufacturing facility in Wiri, Auckland.
The company says that on-site storage capacity has increased from approximately 1000 to over 4300 pallet spaces.
The facility is also equipped with an electronic warehouse management system, “revolutionising the way inventory is received, stored, and managed”.
“This is a very tangible investment in Wiri and in our New Zealand operations,” said Ian Roberts, CSCO, Suntory Beverage & Food Oceania.
“By increasing on‐site capacity and improving how we manage raw materials, we’re making the site safer, more efficient and better equipped to support the needs of a growing, multi‐beverage business.”
To support the company’s ongoing emissions reduction program, the facility was built with reusable crushed concrete from the former warehouse slab, and the roof structure is designed to accommodate future solar panel installations.
“Alongside our new carbon‐neutral manufacturing facility in Queensland, Australia, the Wiri site plays an important role in how we continue to invest locally and build a resilient, sustainable manufacturing network to support customers and consumers across Australia and New Zealand,” said Roberts
Earlier this year, Suntory Oceania backed disability groups with a $450,000 pledge.
