ALDI has appointed BADGE and Georgiou Group Pty Ltd for the construction of its South Australian (SA) and Western Australian (WA) Distribution Centres.
Work in SA commences this month while construction on the WA site will begin in November 2014.
The combined value of the contracts is over $100 million and will provide work opportunities to local contractors and businesses.
The Distribution Centre will act as the hub of ALDI’s store network, with up to 120 stores planned for Western Australia and South Australia.
BADGE will build the South Australian Distribution Centre at Regency Park, and construction is expected to be completed by October 2015.
The total project value for ALDI's WA and SA expansion is approximately $700 million. This includes the Distribution Centres, stores and additional infrastructure.
“We are proud of our commitment to our suppliers and contractors in Australia, many of whom have enjoyed growth and success as we have expanded over the past 13 years,” said Viktor Jakupec, ALDI managing director of SA and WA.
“The development of our Distribution Centre and stores under efficient and streamlined processes is integral to delivering the high quality products at low prices that our customers have come to expect,” he said.
