Investment Ensures Brisbane and Perishables for the Long Haul

Shipping fresh products around the world is a highly specialised task. The need for delicate handling, temperature management and speed to maximise the shelf life is imperative. Understanding the unique requirements of freight with a limited lifespan, our perishable team is a crucial partner when sending perishable products internationally.
