Local context
Working in Ceres Industrial
We service Ceres Industrial, Ceres Fruit Growers precinct and the surrounding blocks of Ceres Industrial, Ceres, with access off the R46 and R303. Mediterranean summers with strong south-easters carry dust and salt onto condenser coils, and winter rain drives condensation risk at dock openings.
