Introducing Inghams Group’s New 5-Star Green Star Facility in Adelaide

ANZ’s largest poultry provider Inghams Group has opened a new warehouse next to its processing plant in Edinburgh, South Australia.

Designed to a 5-Star Green Star rating, the 15,380 sqm fridge and freezer facility has 1,000kw of solar panels installed on its roof. Sophisticated and highly efficient refrigeration systems are projected to slash electrical consumption by half, in comparison to older plants.

These features, plus the site’s proximity next to the company’s processing plant, demonstrate the company’s effort towards reducing carbon emissions.

“Working closely with our property and supply chain partner TMX Global, we have designed a facility under 5-Star Green Star guidelines that will drive operational efficiencies and improve our ability to service customers across Australia and internationally,” Inghams National Distribution Manager Chris Ong said.

“To deliver a project of this size in Adelaide, through global supply chain challenges, is a testament to the collaboration of Inghams, TMX, Texco, and Goodman.”

Goodman developed the site and Texco built the facility. TMX Global managed the multidisciplinary project from end-to-end, providing distribution centre design, technical scoping, property procurement, and construction delivery management.

The Edinburgh centre is the second of three new warehouses TMX Global is delivering for Inghams. The first facility opened in Truganina, in Melbourne’s west, last year. The third facility, in Hazelmere, Western Australia, will open later this year.
