Statewide Independent Wholesalers

In May 2012 Statewide Independent Wholesalers (SIW) and TIR officially launched a new $8O million Tasmania Regional Distribution Centre south of Launceston with a VIP ceremony, including guest of honour, the Tasmanian Premier of the day, Lara Giddings.

The new centre brings cutting edge logistics technology to Tasmania, delivering fresher, faster groceries throughout Tasmania to its diverse customer base across the State.

With 300 employees, 110 truck movements a day, and 410,000 cartons picked per week, the centre houses more than $40 million of stock at any one time, from around 900 suppliers. It utilises best practice systems such as voice pick technology and radio frequency receiving and dispatch.
