SSI SCHAEFER, the world’s largest materials handling system supplier, has announced an expansion to its Melbourne operation.
According to Mr Alan Clark, Managing Director, SSI Schaefer Australasia, the announcement to open a second office in the Altona area in Victoria is a key component of the company's Australasian growth.
“With the increasing number of large installations and the growth of our clientele in the Western suburbs of Melbourne, we needed to open a second office to manage the clients efficiently,” Mr Clark says.
“Our new office will ultimately increase customer service response times, give greater coverage in an expanding market and provide an office for overseas visiting SSI Schaefer personnel closer to the airport.”
SSI Schaefer will be using the premises of IFC Global Logistics, where it will have both office space and warehouse facilities.
The second SSI Schaefer office will be in addition to the Dandenong facility of distributor, Absolute Storage Systems which remains an integral part of the state’s growth and now can offer greater client service in conjunction with the SSI Schaefer team.
SSI Schaefer has released three new products in the last twelve months including the ipick system, the WIMAS Warehouse Management System and the Orbiter Satellite System enabling new product offerings to the market.
“It is rewarding to see that SSI Schaefer continues to gain market presence in Australasia and the strength of our growth is the strong world-renowned brand that sits behind us,” Mr Clark says.
