Allied Pinnacle, a leading flour and bakery manufacturer, has opened a new purpose-built distribution centre in Ravenhall, Victoria.
The Ravenhall Distribution Centre, now Allied Pinnacle’s largest footprint nationwide, will play a key role in distributing flour and bakery goods, servicing several Australian states and territories including Victoria, South Australia, and Tasmania.
The distribution centre features a test kitchen for customers, integrated fit out, corporate office, 39 metre hardstand, super awning for all weather loading, 16.8 metre ridge height for vertical expansion and integrated sustainability measures.
David Pitt, CEO of Allied Pinnacle, said the opening of the distribution centre marks an exciting chapter for Allied Pinnacle as it continues to expand its food manufacturing capabilities.
“This facility not only strengthens our ability to serve customers across multiple states but also reinforces our commitment to delivering innovative, high-quality products. We’re proud to contribute to the local economy and look forward to creating more opportunities for growth in the region.”
Symbolising its partnership with Japanese company Nisshin Seifun Group, Allied Pinnacle marked the occasion with a ceremonial cherry blossom planting and ribbon cutting, with board members of Nisshin attending the ceremony.
Luba Grigorovitch, State Member for Kororoit, said it was fantastic to see Allied Pinnacle making such a significant contribution to the local community.
“The Ravenhall Distribution Centre will provide valuable jobs and opportunities, helping to boost the region’s economy. I commend Allied Pinnacle for its commitment to innovation and sustainability and I’m proud to see Victoria play such a central role in Australia’s food manufacturing industry.”
The site is set to officially open on Monday, 18 November.
