We are pleased to announce that HARDERS Contract Logistics has expanded to a world-class distribution centre in Sydney’s west. Strategically located in the Horsley Park logistics hub, less than 30 minutes from Moorebank Intermodal Precinct and Western Sydney International Airport, HARDERS is offering tailored contract logistics / 3PL solutions to some of the best food and beverage retailers in Australia, keen to get their products to market in the optimal condition and fast.
Racked to accommodate ~8,500 pallet positions, the site was fully operational from February 2025 with ATO S79 Bond (import and excise) and Food Storage Approval and a limited quantity of Dangerous Goods Storage approval (SafeWork NSW) in place as required by our clients.
Our warehousing solutions are designed to handle seasonal beverage retailer peaks efficiently, ensure compliance with strict regulations and provide cost-effective B2B distribution. Value-add services such as relabelling or repacking under bond, biosecurity inspections, container unpack and deliver, or simple overflow solutions are available.
Blue Yonder, the best-of-breed and Gartner-Magic Quadrant leading warehouse management system (WMS), drive the operational processes, offering enterprise-level business solutions from day one. System integrations with beverage retailer enterprise-resource planning (ERP) systems are quick and easy. Simple container ‘unpack and deliver’ or overflow requirements can be managed simply through our ‘Rapid Deployment’ approach.
Work has commenced on HACCP certification; Approved Arrangement – Quarantine; ISO (Quality) 9001 - 2015.
This Sydney expansion comes at a time when many 3PLs are rationalising their Sydney footprints, squeezing overall capacity and leaving fewer quality 3PL options in the market.
Jacques Roux, Chief Commercial Officer – Contract Logistics, stated:
“Just 12 months after opening the purpose-built 3PL site in Melbourne, we are delighted to be opening our 2nd distribution centre now in Sydney as we build out our national 3PL footprint. This is in-line with our strategic plan and supported by existing Food and Beverage customer demand for quality warehousing and distribution solutions.”
