Symbion grows in Melbourne
March 6, 2013
MELBOURNE is set to become a
powerhouse of manufacturing
activity, with Symbion announcing
plans to build a new 12,000m2
multi-million dollar warehouse in
the city’s south eastern suburbs.
The facility will be fully
operational from the second half of
2015 and will incorporate the latest
iterations of Symbion's integrated
warehouse technology systems
including Goods-to-Person and high
speed A-frame order assembly,
both of which currently operate in
its Kewdale and Greystanes
facilities.
Located adjacent to the East Link,
the warehouse is a “significant
investment” for Symbion, and is
said to underline the company’s
“commitment to its customers and
the wider pharmacy industry”.
“While continual changes to the
PBS will always put pressure on the
margins of both our business and
our customers, we believe an
investment such as this will be
critical in ensuring we meet the
volume requirements and cost
constraints of the future,” said
Symbion Chief Executive Officer,
Patrick Davies.
“This is a significant investment,
not only in technology and
infrastructure but also in terms of
the level of service we are
committed to providing to our
customers now and into the future.
“The challenges facing
pharmacists and their businesses
are changing all the time, and we
are determined to help our
customers meet those challenges
and prosper while also sustaining
our business model for the long
term,” he added.
