Reece Group’s Chief Operations Officer, Daniel Palumbo said the move would consolidate the Group’s brands under one roof, having previously operated out of specialty business units in the area.

“By locating specialty brands at the one multisite, we’re able to provide an even better level of service, delivering on our ‘works for you’ customer promise,” he said.

“Melbourne Airport is central to our key suppliers and customers in the region.

"The combined multisite location will also see the creation of new jobs.” 

CBRE Associate Director Daniel Eramo, who negotiated the lease with Reece Australia, said the process undertaken identified the Melbourne Airport Business Park as the "ultimate location" for Reece Australia.

“The park is one of the largest industrial estates in Victoria, giving occupiers the opportunity to co-locate with some of the country’s largest logistics occupier," he said.
