With locations across five continents, we can offer our customers one-stop services worldwide, supported by local experts and a global IT system that ensures reliable data management for our customized supply chain solutions.”
The Sydney site is part of Arvato’s broader global growth strategy, which has seen the company increase its international warehouse space by 76% over the past six years. The company now operates in fourteen locations across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, including distribution centers in mainland China, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Japan. Raoul Kuetemeier, Head of Asia at Arvato Supply Chain Solutions, expressed pride in the company’s continued expansion in the APAC region, stating, “Over the past five years, we have continuously grown our presence and customer base in APAC countries.

The Villawood warehouse in Central Western Sydney is strategically located to facilitate fast and efficient distribution. Its proximity to key transportation hubs, including the Sydney business district, Sydney Airport, and Port Botany, enhances its logistical capabilities. The warehouse is also designed with sustainability in mind, featuring a rooftop photovoltaic system to generate renewable energy, LED lighting with motion and daylight sensors, and double-glazed windows to improve energy efficiency. Andreas Barth, President Industry Vertical Tech and Group Head of Corporate Responsibility & Sustainability at Arvato Supply Chain Solutions, emphasized the company’s commitment to environmental goals, stating, “Arvato’s corporate goal is to be climate neutral by 2030. The new facility in Villawood, designed with sustainability in mind, is a key step towards achieving this objective.”
