EBOS Group has announced the rebranding of its existing Symbion Contract Logistics distribution business to Healthcare Logistics, with the move to be phased in with the debut of a new $15 million distribution centre in May 2018.
The company will roll out new branding from this month, with the project expected to be complete when the new facility opens in Pemulwuy, NSW, next year.
EBOS already distributes product in New Zealand under the Healthcare Logistics (HCL) brand, with the move to unify the brand across Australia and New Zealand.
"The rebranding will establish HCL as its own brand while allowing the business to continue the long-standing relationship with Symbion," said EBOS Group gm contract logistics, Michael Broome.
The new 25,000m2 HCL distribution centre will become the largest facility across the entire group, with capacity for approximately 30,000 pallets.
It has a specially designed 13.5m flat ceiling, along with provision for future expansion in the cold chain and controlled drugs areas.
HCL will move from its current headquarters in Rydalmere, NSW to the new facility in Mar next year.
The business is also expanding across the Tasman, with the opening of a new 7,500m2 warehouse in Auckland to cater for ongoing growth.
Broome said the new facilities in both countries would help future-proof the business as well as underline EBOS Group's "commitment to investing in the region".
