In 1996 the first depot in Wetherill Park, Sydney was established before moving to Yennora a few years later. While the ’99s hailstorm caused billions worth of damage to the city, it didn’t deter Northline. The company continued to excel, and by 2004, they saw an increase in demand.
That year, their contract with Unilever had significantly grown, which prompted Northline to create the ‘Ambient and Freezer Stock Depot’ to accommodate Unilever’s requirements.
In 2007, Northline’s first purpose-built depot was located in Rosehill where the team operated for the next 7 years. The total site comprised 20,000 square metres, which included warehouse space and offered drive-through undercover loading docks and dock levellers.
Then in 2014, Northline built their second purpose-built facility in Smithfield, helping to boost economic activity in the western suburbs of Sydney. The 32,000 square metre site provided over 16,500 square metres for warehousing and freight, including 5,000 square metres undercover specifically for Unilever.
Northline now looks towards the future and plans to expand its logistics presence in Sydney by consolidating its Sydney depots into a dual flagship site.
The 86,000 square metre site, set to open in 2026, will span between two adjoining locations, allowing for 17,000 square metres of warehousing and 17,400 square metres for freight.
