Australian logistics and supply chain solutions business Austrans has renewed its partnership with leading Australian rail freight provider Pacific National for the next 10 years.
The landmark contract reflect the companies’ shared growth aspirations and desire to decarbonise the national supply chain by moving more freight on rail. Both companies are investing heavily in the people, equipment, and technologies needed to deliver for their customers.
Austrans managing director Greg O’Shea said the agreement solidified the 37-year relationship between the two bodies.
“Pacific National’s performance and customer-centric focus are unmatched in rail and align seamlessly with Austrans’ core values, which have been a driving force behind our business growth,” he said.
“Pacific National’s support has helped Austrans evolve from a small freight forwarder into a nationally recognised presence in Australia.
“I am thrilled about our future to grow with Pacific National and the additional benefits this collaboration will bring to our customers and the environment.
“Here’s to pushing boundaries for our end customers, fostering a less carbon intensive future in the national supply chain, and delivering what matters together.”
Pacific National managing director Paul Scurrah said these investment initiatives, combined with Pacific National’s existing depth of nationwide expertise and operational capacity, provided Austrans with added scope to expand and thrive in the national supply chain.
“Rail freight also provides a lower emissions transport solution to both Austrans and its many end customers,” he said.
“Pacific National aims to be Australia’s most trusted and respected logistics partner by delivering what matters, and we are excited to continue transforming the intermodal containerised market with our long-term partner Austrans.”
