As of October 2026, MEDLOG has significantly expanded its Australian logistics footprint through strategic facility developments and site acquisitions. The company aims to strengthen its national infrastructure by integrating rail networks and container services across key gateways.
Why it matters
These infrastructure investments are designed to streamline the movement of goods between major regional production areas and critical maritime ports. By centralising logistics operations, MEDLOG improves the efficiency of interstate supply chains for Australian businesses.
MEDLOG now manages the 39-hectare former Melbourne Markets site, following a $200 million transaction for the Minto facility in April 2025. These assets form the backbone of the company's expanded national freight capacity.
