Project Details

Having outgrown its existing facility in Motueka, Golden Bay Fruit invested in a new cool store and packhouse development to support its growing operations and brand presence. Apollo Projects was engaged to deliver both the design and construction, chosen for our understanding of the facility’s strategic importance - this is more than just a packhouse and cool store.

Developed in three stages, the state-of-the-art facility spans 20,000m² and includes eight new cool stores, an automated packhouse, drive-through canopies, and office space. The packhouse features a large reinforced concrete mezzanine that connects to an automated packaging plant, with reinforced concrete floors throughout to support varied loads and uses.

Kingspan products were used to insulate and fireproof the building, which incorporates advanced apple sorting and packaging technology. The result is a highly efficient, future-focused facility that reflects Golden Bay Fruit’s commitment to innovation and quality.
