Global Defence Solutions (GDS) has announced the expansion of its operations, with the signing of an agreement for a new 2225 square metre facility in Southeast Queensland.
The new facility, currently under development in Bundamba, southwest of Brisbane, is expected to be operational by 1 July 2024.
“We are not just investing in a new premise; we are building the future of GDS in Southeast Queensland,” said Jeromy Bendall, GDS General Manager.
“This is in direct response to the growing needs of our defence partners. This expansion will accommodate our growing business and provide us with the ability to support larger projects, especially ones related to civilian emergency services. There will be tangible benefits for our Queensland defence and civilian partners, including reduced transportation costs and downtime for maintenance and repairs.”
As part of the company’s strategic growth plan, GDS has also announced the acquisition of its fourth building in South Nowra.
“These expansions also reflect our dedication to supporting the local economy and manufacturing sector,” said Bendall.
“With these strategic moves, GDS is positioning itself as a key player in the defence industry, both domestically and with the potential for future exports.”
