LEGO Group and Kuehne+Nagel partnership
Recently, the LEGO Group has expanded its partnership with Kuehne+Nagel by opening a new fulfilment centre in Truganina, located in Australia’s southeastern state of Victoria.
Spanning 26,500 square metres and equipped with a storage capacity of 26,000 pallets, the new fulfilment centre is designed to serve LEGO’s customers for both B2C and B2B across Australia and New Zealand.
The facility leverages cutting-edge automation to optimise operational processes while adhering to sustainability.
The automation aspects are designed with sustainability in mind, featuring state-of-the-art, carton-reducing technology to minimise packaging and waste.
The facility also integrates a dual 100kW solar panel system to reduce electricity consumption and contribute excess power back to the grid.
Water saving technologies support on-site amenities and irrigation for the surrounding plants and trees.
The fulfilment centre has achieved a 5-star Green Star Rating, which signifies ‘Australian excellence’ in sustainable building practices according to the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) standards.
“We are delighted to partner with Kuehne+Nagel as our new logistics partner in the Australian market,” says Troy Taylor, Vice President and General Manager for LEGO Australia.
“This new world-class fulfilment centre in Truganina will allow us to continue with our expansion plans for this very important market as we strive to reach more kids and adults with our iconic LEGO bricks.”
“This project showcases our growth strategy and dedication to expanding our footprint and fulfilment model in the Pacific and strengthening our partnership with the LEGO Group,” says Francis Murugan, Managing Director for Kuehne+Nagel Australia.
“Beyond being a fulfilment centre, it is a hub of efficiency, innovation, and sustainability, equipped with the latest technologies, automation, and eco-friendly practices.”
