Queensland-based national transport company, APT Logistics, are making the move to CITISWICH Business Park through the development of a purpose-built 15,000sqm facility at the new estate.

APT Logistics operate over 35 trucks and 70 trailers, predominantly moving freight for earthmoving, equipment and truck manufacturers. The privatelyowned company has been in operation for over 16 years at Sumner Park, however strong growth has meant the business needed to expand.

APT Logistics chose CITISWICH Business Park as the destination for their new headquarters due to it’s location on the Cunningham and Warrego Highways – transport corridors APT Logistics sees as vital for their western freight business.

General Manager of APT, Peter Kinsella, said that CITISWICH Business Park will become “mini transport hub” for businesses utilizing western freight corridors from south-east Queensland.

“ We are growing our business in freight corridors connecting south-east Queensland to Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne, and we require convenient access to our customers based predominantly along the Ipswich Motorway. The location of CITISWICH on the junction of the Ipswich Motorway, Warrego Highway and Cunningham Highway made it the logical choice for our business,” he said.

The company needed a ‘blank sheet of paper’ to build their new facility and enough space to ensure that any future growth of their business could be successfully catered for.

“ There’s very little cleanskin development land left in south-east Queensland – Rocklea and Loganlea are basically finished and done. CITISWICH provides one of the only opportunities to develop a purpose-built facility in south-east Queensland.”

APT Logistics will commence building their facility mid-year, and expect to be moved into their new headquarters by November of this year.
