FDC have successfully completed construction of Scandinavian furniture giant – IKEA’s first purpose-built distribution centre in Australia at Sydney Business Park Precinct, Marsden Park. This is the second construction that FDC have completed for IKEA, the first which is the award-winning IKEA, Marsden Park retail store.

IKEA is a transnational company that designs and sells ready-to-assemble furniture, kitchen appliances and homeware. They have been the world’s largest furniture retailer since 2008.

FDC’s new 70,000sqm IKEA distribution centre houses a fully automated storage and retrieval system which is 11,000sqm in area and 35m high and consists of 9 automatic cranes and an extensive conveyor system which sorts, shelves and retrieves 66,000 pallets 24 hours a day.
