Visy Logistics and BlueScope have entered into a new logistics agreement to further strengthen Western Australia’s steel supply chain and support the region’s growing infrastructure and manufacturing sectors.
Under the new agreement, Visy Logistics will expand its fleet and introduce a suite of purpose-built trailers, including 10 new prairie wagons. They were manufactured in Australia using BlueScope steel to achieve high safety and compliance standards, and freight-handling requirements of BlueScope’s Western Australian operations.
This agreement will generate 21 jobs for Visy Logistics in Perth, supported by a dedicated fleet. For a customer focused solution, the fleet features:
- modern trailers to protect product quality from all-weather conditions
- improved safety through integrated features like roll stability systems and retractable trailer stairs to protect both employees and the wider community
- improved payload efficiency, optimising cost and environmental performance.
“This agreement reinforces our commitment to safety, reliability, and continuous improvement in supply chain performance,” says Tony Egbers, BlueScope Western Region Processing and Logistics Manager.
Wayne Boxshall, Visy Logistics Country Manager says: “This new arrangement reflects the strength and longevity of our partnership with BlueScope. Over many years, we have forged this relationship by consistently delivering on our promise across the Eastern Seaboard.
We are proud to extend that same commitment to BlueScope and their WA partners. Visy Logistics is fully dedicated to supporting BlueScope’s growth.”
This new agreement represents another significant and important milestone for Visy Logistics as the company continues to build momentum and grow its position as a leader in steel transportation and logistics across Australia.
