Major Multi-National company commits to Vicinity Industrial Estate

Walker Corporation has signed the first tenant at its landmark $400 million Vicinity Industrial Estate in Adelaide, committing major multi-national paper and hygiene products company, Kimberly-Clark, to a 10 year lease for a 7,000sqm purpose-built distribution and storage facility at the new estate.

Kimberly-Clark will distribute its vast range of Consumer and Professional products, including Kleenex and Scott bath and facial products, Viva and Scott paper towels and Huggies Nappies, throughout South Australia and the Northern Territory from the new centre, making the estates location close to northern freight routes an important factor in the decision-making process.

Ms Ramona Prescott, Projects Manager Corporate Supply Chain said “We looked at a wide range of sites across Adelaide and were especially attracted to Vicinity’s great access to major road transport routes, which will enable Kimberly-Clark to improve our supply chain logistics and help secure our longterm growth aspirations.

“ The major infrastructure works underway in the region are also a big plus for our business, creating improved freight routes north and into key centres around Adelaide helping to service our wide range of customers more efficiently and effectively,” Ms Prescott added.

Kimberly Clark are relocating from an existing facility at Pooraka, to the new centre at Vicinity.

Construction of the new centre commences this month, with completion expected in October 2009.
