Synnex Opens New Oceania Headquarters and Logistics Centre
Friday 6 February, 2026 - Synnex has officially opened its new Oceania headquarters and logistics centre in Melbourne, marking a major milestone in the company’s long-term investment in Australia and its readiness to support the next phase of technology growth.
Located in Oakleigh South, the new facility was formally unveiled on 6 February, with Synnex ANZ CEO Arthur Gimisis, Synnex Group CEO Kee Ong, Victorian Minister for Economic Growth and Jobs Danny Pearson, and Director General of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Australia, Ray Ming-Tse Lu, in attendance.
The opening underscores Synnex’s nearly 30-year presence in the Australian ICT market and reflects its continued commitment to strengthening national distribution capability, operational resilience, and partner support.
Speaking at the event, Synnex ANZ CEO, Arthur Gimisis said the new facility represents both sustained growth and long-term investment.
“This facility reflects our belief that strong physical infrastructure remains critical to enabling digital innovation, improving service efficiency, enabling the rollout of new technologies, and reinforcing our ongoing commitment to supporting our partners and people for the long term,” Mr Gimisis said.
Looking to the broader regional and global context, Synnex Group CEO, Kee Ong said the new headquarters reinforces Australia’s strategic importance within the Group and positions the business for future demand.
“Australia continues to demonstrate strong momentum across enterprise, cloud and emerging technologies,” Mr Ong said.
“This facility enhances our capabilities across logistics, automation, digital supply chain operations and service delivery, ensuring we are positioned to meet the growing demand with the scale, automation and operational capability required to support the next phase of technology growth driven by cloud adoption, cybersecurity, AI, and enterprise technology solutions.”
Spanning 44,000 square metres and standing 35 metres high, the facility features a highly automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) with capacity for 22,000 pallets supported by over a kilometre of conveyor systems and over 25,000 square metres of advanced conveyor infrastructure. The ASRS enables precise, high-accuracy movement of goods throughout the warehouse, significantly enhancing speed, consistency, and scalability.
The Oakleigh South site, located one street from Synnex’s previous headquarters, was selected in 2020 as part of a broader strategy to strengthen the company’s national logistics network. Planning and construction commenced the same year, followed by a carefully coordinated relocation completed over the 2025 Easter period.
The relocation involved the transfer of more than 600 containers and 7,200 pallets over four days, delivered through a joint task force spanning Synnex Group headquarters, Sydney Intelligent Logistics, and the Australian operations team.
Beyond physical infrastructure, the facility supports advanced operational models including Just-in-Time delivery, streamlined return authorisation processes, and a dedicated Configuration Services Centre providing end-to-end lifecycle support from procurement and pre-configuration through to deployment and asset recovery.
Victorian Minister for Economic Growth and Jobs Danny Pearson said the investment reflects confidence in Victoria’s economy and future.
“This new headquarters and logistics facility are a strong vote of confidence in Victoria, creating jobs, strengthening supply chains, and supporting future economic growth,” Minister Pearson said.
Founded in 1988, the Synnex Group operates a global network of 26 logistics centres, including major hubs in Taipei and Taichung, supporting annual revenues of US$14.26 billion.
The Melbourne facility operates in close alignment with Synnex’s fully automated Sydney logistics centre and supports the company’s Australian business, which generates more than US$2.5 billion in annual revenue.
More than an expansion, the new Oceania headquarters and logistics centre represents Synnex’s long-term confidence in Australia’s technology sector and its role in enabling the nation’s digital and economic growth.
