Direct Freight Express has announced the opening of three new sites in Victoria.
The depots are located in Warrnambool, Portland and Hamilton, signalling a clear strategy to bolster its presence further in the southwest of the state.
“We are thrilled to announce that we are now operating three new depots in Victoria, further strengthening our national footprint,” said Managing Director Joe Catania.
“These new locations will enhance our ability to provide top-tier logistics services across Australia.”
The expansion, referred to internally as the “triangle,” given how the new facilities triangulate its regional presence in the area, brings Direct Freight Express’ total of company-owned depots to 68 nationwide.
Catania said the expansion would further strengthen the company’s position as one of Australia’s leading privately owned freight solutions providers.
“We look forward to continuing to serve our valued customers with even greater reach and efficiency.”
In November last year, Direct Freight Express achieved practical completion on a new Western Australian facility at Kenwick.
The facility has been developed to support Direct Freight Express’ existing distribution centre in Roe Highway Logistics Park.
The property includes a 2,800m² Warehouse and nearly 5,000m² of concrete hardstand. The hardstand caters for 37 truck parking bays and 12 car parking bays.
