UCC Australia was established in 1996 as Universal Clearance Company, buying and selling discounted stock across several categories. After Kodak asked UCC Australia to take over a number of key accounts, we gradually changed from a stock clearance and parallel import company to a branded goods company. Our expertise in this area, combined with the impending changes to the retail landscape, enabled us to refocus the company's direction.

After taking over distribution for Kodak products in Kmart, Big W, Officeworks and other leading retailers, we established a sales office in Melbourne in 2010. This allowed us to manage our growing number of national accounts better and provide an end-to-end brand management solution for retail brands looking for exposure in the Australian market. Since then, we have been able to thrive in our managing of national accounts as our list of major retailers continued to evolve and develop.

In 2011, we commissioned a new head office and 5000m2 state-of-the-art warehouse in Western Sydney, which can accommodate 6000 pallets. It boasts a fully-integrated scanning system that's linked to our ordering and accounting systems, so we remain agile and efficient in every area of our business.

UCC Australia continues to grow and evolve at a rapid pace, with exciting plans that will see us expand our reach and services in the years ahead – while we are immensely proud of the work we have been able to do across the distribution, importing and management front over the years, we see ourselves as always having the opportunity to continually grow, and have the desire to do just that.

We're proud to have a team that truly cares about the success of our clients and works hard to maintain our strong reputation and performance. Our dedicated and passionate staff never fail in establishing a quick rapport with our retailers, working collaboratively with them to ensure that their needs and vision is met.
