Eurocold moves to Logan and expands business
Eurocold, a refrigerated truck builder and fleet partner has moved to the City of Logan as part of the national expansion of the company.
The refrigerated truck rental and leasing agency has recently completed its new 8,677sqm facility at Berrinba in the ESR Gilmore Industrial Estate.
The new facility is eight times larger than their Wynumm assembly site, and allows Eurocold to expand its manufacturing and assembly capabilities.
The move has not only reinforced Eurocold’s premium standing but has also guided the entire organization onto a forward-thinking path for the future, where it can continue to be an Australian leader in operational, sustainable, and people-focused excellence.
The creation of the new facility coincides with the roll out of Eurocold’s electric vehicles.
According to Eurocold, it will utilise technology developed with Carrier and chassis suppliers to ensure more efficient practices in refrigerated transport.
All-electric powered vehicles and refrigeration cabinets will lower emissions and reduce waste through the course of delivery to end customers.
Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Eurocold, Avraam Solomon, said the Berrinba facility future proofs the company for expansion.
“We have a bold plan to take the number of Eurocold vehicles on the road from the current 500 to nearly 2000 by the end of 2029,” said Solomon.
“We’re committed to a significant investment into the refrigerated trucking industry over the next three years,” he said.
“This expansion will support our greater expansion into other states which we began last year. It gives us the ability to have four single-line production units in the one facility, on top of that the location will become the hub for all of Eurocold’s business operations with the three major motorways accessible.”
“This will see our footprint increase across Australia and into New Zealand. We hope to have all of our new facilities signed and operational within 12 months.
“This plan includes the launch of Eurocold Revora, which has created an incredible amount of interest throughout the industry.”
Solomon said Eurocold Revora would provide sustainable, electrified delivery solutions at multiple sizes from small utility type vehicles right through to larger, rigid units.
“Our developer partners at ESR are assisting us with the move to a carbon free future through the technology being implemented. ESR is built on a shared vision of building for a sustainable future in the new economy,” he said.
ESR Australia’s General Manager Development, Queensland, Craig Robertson welcomes Eurocold to Berrinba Industrial Estate.
“Their signing marks a significant milestone for the Estate, closing out the first two stages,” he said.
Logan Office of Economic Development and Logan City Council were proud to work with Eurocold and support their investment. Eurocold were successful in receiving funding from Council’s Investment Attraction Incentive Fund.
City of Logan Mayor Jon Raven attended the facility this month to welcome Eurocold to the city and to tour the facility.
“We’re excited that Eurocold has brought 45 jobs to the City of Logan.
They’ve made the smart business decision to choose the youngest and fastest-growing city in Queensland as the base of their national and international operations.
I’m looking forward to seeing how they will grow and innovate over the coming years.”
