Across 40 years, Bowen has grown from a small family business into a leading provider of industrial warehouse and retail stockroom systems across Australia and New Zealand.

Strategically pivoting with new managerial leadership direction in 2022, Bowen refined its strategy to drive scalability, innovation, and market leadership. This evolution has seen Bowen significantly expand its capabilities while leading in optimising space efficiency, integrating automation, and strengthening industry partnerships.

Future-focused expansion 

A strong presence in Australia and a growing footprint in New Zealand means Bowen delivers next-generation solutions for high-growth industries. Recent large-scale retail stockroom rollout at Manawa Bay Shopping Centre in Auckland highlighted expertise in retail storage efficiency.

“Bowen has invested in improving products and processes, allowing us to take on larger, more complex projects and better support the market,” says General Manager Scott Phillips.

With a national service footprint and trusted partnerships, Bowen is the go-to provider for scalable, high-efficiency storage solutions.

“Our clients receive consistent products, solutions, and service no matter where they operate,” Phillips adds.

Optimised storage solutions

Bowen specialises in optimising storage and retrieval for industrial warehouses and high-volume retail stockrooms. Experienced design consultants and engineers develop tailored solutions maximising space and efficiency.

“We have field consultants backed by a skilled design team, solving even the most complex challenges,” explains Phillips.

Bowen’s BM3000 stockroom system is a best-in-market solution for high-density fashion, footwear and homewares storage, offering flexibility, efficiency, and scalability.

Expanding into LFR & high-volume retail

Bowen partners with major retailers, supply chain logistics operators, and manufacturers to deliver scalable, high-efficiency storage solutions. They’re setting new benchmarks in Large Format Retail (LFR) and Big Box retail storage with a proven track record.

At Manawa Bay Shopping Centre in Auckland, Bowen delivered 40 retail stockrooms for global brands like Adidas, New Balance and Nike, streamlining storage and inventory access.

Bowen also supports large-scale industrial operations, including:

  • Northline: A high-density system using automated pallet shuttles to manage 7,000 pallets for national logistics.
  • Venus Packaging: A custom pallet racking system with manual pick-face shelf locations for efficient order fulfilment.

Automation and safety

Bowen enhances warehouse and retail efficiency with automated retrieval products like 2D pallet shuttles and vertical lift modules. Its solutions also prioritise engineering and compliance, ensuring seamless integration into complex operations.

Safety remains a priority, with rigorous testing in Australian labs of our engineered products and nationwide audits.

“We don’t cut corners,” says Phillips. “Our audit team regularly schedules annual site inspections to minimise risks for our clients.”

Bowen’s ISO 9001 certification reinforces its commitment to industry-leading quality standards.

The future of storage and logistics

From large-scale logistics to high-volume retail, Bowen helps businesses adapt, scale, and operate efficiently in an evolving market. With a commitment to innovation and trusted partnerships, Bowen leads in high-performance storage solutions.

Maximising space is the future of retail and industrial warehousing — and Bowen is at the forefront of delivering solutions that optimise efficiency and drive success.
