Linfox acquires NZ based Provincial Freightlines

SYDNEY - Australian logistics company Linfox Logistics has acquired New Zealand firm Provincial Freightlines, in its quest for organic growth.

Provincial Freightlines (PFL) was a successful privately owned logistics business with blue-chip customers, Linfox chief executive Michael Byrne said.

PFL served industries including logging, timber, packaging, chemicals, refined fuels and fast-moving consumer goods.

The acquisition would double the revenue base of the New Zealand arm of the Linfox business, Mr Byrne said.
