Synnex opens Melbourne HQ and logistics centre

Synnex Australia has opened its new headquarters and purpose-built logistics facility in Oakleigh South, Melbourne.

The 44,000 sqm facility includes a 22,000-pallet capacity and a 35-metre-high, 4,283 sqm high bay warehouse featuring a Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS).

Supported by over a kilometre of conveyors, Synnex says the ASRS ensures fast, accurate, push-button pallet handling across all levels. The site also boasts 25,280 sqm of advanced conveyor infrastructure.

An architecturally designed three-story office building, with 975 sqm per level, complements the facility.

The new Melbourne centre operates in tandem with its Sydney logistics centre.

Planning and construction began in 2020 and in the lead-up to its completion in Q2 2025, a joint task force from Synnex Group headquarters, Synergy Intelligent Logistics, and the Australian team orchestrated a complex relocation plan.

“This project represents not just our commitment in technology, investment, and sustainable growth in Australia, but a reflection of the dedication of the people behind it,” said Arthur Gimisis, CEO of Synnex ANZ.

“It pushed the boundaries of what we thought was possible in terms of coordination, planning, and execution. The determination of the team and their commitment to getting every detail right was the key to success.”

Since its founding in 1988, the Synnex Group has built a global network of 26 logistics centres including major facilities in Taipei and Taichung, Taiwan.
