NEW BAPCOR DISTRIBUTION CENTRE CONSTRUCTED

The state of the art facility is located in the Brisbane suburb of Redbank

BAPCOR, a market leading automotive aftermarket specialised company in Australasia, has announced the construction of the company’s second centralised distribution centre.

The impressive 41,580 square metre BAPCOR Distribution Centre, which equates to four Suncorp Stadiums under one roof, is located in the Brisbane suburb of Redbank.

When operational, this outstanding new Bapcor Distribution Centre will consolidate seven existing Brisbane based warehouses into the one state of the art, purpose designed facility. This will strengthen supply chain capabilities across the company’s parts receiving and sending eco-system.

This new BAPCOR Distribution Centre is an extension of the Australian company’s broader strategy to build the industry’s best in class supply chain and to expand its centralised distribution network model.

The new Queensland facility follows the design and construction of the company’s first purpose-built distribution centre in Victoria that was completed in 2021.

The new Queensland facility will also feature a world-class automated order (Goods to Person) fulfillment solution that combines automated storage and retrieval with an accurate and integrated pick to light order fulfillment system.

The new BAPCOR Distribution Centre will also benefit from the latest warehouse management system where every product is measured, weighed and barcode recorded to ensure operational efficiency across the entire supply chain network.

BAPCOR says its commitment to building a modern and long term sustainable facility includes a number of special additions.

These include a 1.8-megawatt solar panel system that generates the equivalent amount of power to light up 500 residential properties annually. There are also six charging units to charge up to twelve electric vehicles located in the staff car park.

The new BAPCOR Distribution Centre also features rainwater harvesting storage capabilities that aim
