CooperVision ANZ has officially opened its expanded warehouse facility in Torrensville, South Australia, marking a 65% increase in capacity to support continued growth across Australia and New Zealand.
The company said the expansion formed part of its multi-year investment in the region to meet growing demand, navigate increasing complexities in its operating environment, and maintain its commitment to service excellence for our customers.
The expansion further reinforces CooperVision’s commitment to the region’s optometry sector through smarter infrastructure, faster fulfilment, and continued investment in local capability, it said.
“The Torrensville site is our central hub for customer service and distribution across ANZ, and this expansion ensures we can keep pace with growing demand while delivering even better outcomes for our customers,” said Mr Sam Ng, CooperVision APAC head of distribution.
“It’s a strategic investment in operational excellence, designed to scale with us as we grow.
“Importantly, the project has also delivered upgraded workspaces and improved rest amenities for our team, reflecting our commitment to providing a safe, comfortable, and supportive working environment.”
CooperVision’s expanded warehouse uses advanced Voice Pick systems and real-time inventory control across more than 40,000 SKUs.
The company said the layout redesign supported faster, more accurate order processing and set the foundation for future automation. The facility also generates solar energy.
“We’re streamlining operations from pick to dispatch, boosting productivity, improving accuracy, and creating a more responsive supply chain,” said Mr Shane Croft, head of operations, CooperVision ANZ.
“This isn’t just a warehouse upgrade, it’s a step change in how we deliver for customers across the region.”
“This project is part of our broader strategy to strengthen CooperVision’s ability to adapt and thrive in Australia’s evolving healthcare landscape,” said Ms Michelle North, CooperVision ANZ general manager.
“By investing in local infrastructure and partnerships, we’re building the foundations for long-term, sustainable growth.”
The expanded warehouse is now fully operational, supporting more streamlined distribution of CooperVision’s award-winning contact lenses and advancing the company’s goals around customer experience, environmental responsibility, and supply chain innovation.
