One of Australia’s largest distributors and manufacturers of plywood and wood based panel products, Australian Wood Panels, have signed a 10 year lease at an existing warehouse at CITISWICH Business Park.

Since coming under new management in 2006, AWP have experienced significant growth in their business, requiring the company to move from their existing nearby Sumner Park facility.

The 6,500sqm facility is a bigger footprint than the company originally required, however, now provides sufficient space for the company to continue to expand and provide further opportunity for their ongoing growth.

The new AWP headquarters will combine their importing and distribution business with their national and state offices, centralising the business down into one space. Business Manager (QLD), Ian McDonald said he searched across a 15km radius of their Sumner Park location, and committed to CITISWICH due to the proximity of the estate to their customer base, excellent transport connectivity and price.

“ I also like the fact that this is a new development - we know we are going into a business park that has been designed with quality at front of mind.

“ The move west has been an easy one, the region is booming and will continue to provide opportunities for our business over the coming years,” said Mr McDonald.
