Spicer Trading had reached the point where incremental tweaks to their existing facilities were no longer enough. The business was growing, the product range was expanding, and the demands on storage, loading and distribution were increasing every year. They needed a facility that could support where the business was heading, not just where it had been.
Entegra was brought in early to help translate that growth story into a practical, buildable facility that would lift throughput, improve safety and support future expansion. Drawing on experience delivering industrial and processing infrastructure for regional operators, the team focused on aligning the building with how Spicer Trading actually runs day‑to‑day.
Understanding the operation before drawing a line
Rather than starting with a standard shed and working backwards, the project began with the operation. How did stock move through the site? Where were the bottlenecks? What was the plan for new product lines or service offerings over the next five to ten years?
Working closely with Spicer Trading’s leadership and operations teams, Entegra mapped the workflow from inbound deliveries through to dispatch. This informed key decisions about building orientation, access, loading zones, internal clearances and storage layouts, ensuring the design would deliver measurable improvements in productivity and material flow.
Designing for productivity, people and long‑term growth
Productivity through layout
The building was planned around the equipment and vehicle movements, minimising double‑handling and unnecessary travel distances. Clear drive‑through access, consolidated loading areas and efficient racking zones support faster turnaround times and higher daily throughput.
A safer, more comfortable workplace
Future‑proofing and scalability
From concept to handover: one accountable team
Entegra delivered the project using its full turnkey model, with the core disciplines required to plan, design, fabricate and construct the facility all sitting in‑house. This approach meant Spicer Trading had a single partner from early feasibility through to handover and could stay focused on running the business rather than coordinating multiple contractors.
Throughout delivery, decisions were tested against three priorities: operational performance, capital efficiency and long‑term asset value. That discipline ensured the completed facility was not just a new shed, but a long‑term business asset that supports growth.
The result: a facility built to work as hard as the business
The new Spicer Trading facility has given the business the capacity and efficiency it needs to keep growing. With a layout aligned to how the operation runs, improved access for heavy vehicles and a working environment that supports staff performance, the building is already delivering gains in throughput and uptime.
For Entegra, the project reflects a broader commitment to partnering with industrial and processing operators across regional and remote Australia – understanding their businesses deeply and delivering infrastructure that performs from day one and into the future.
If your operation is facing similar constraints around space, efficiency or future growth, involving Entegra early in the conversation can help you stress‑test your options and shape a facility that works for the long term.
