Refrigerated transport specialist Hawk Logistics has announced its latest acquisition, taking over Farragher Logistics.
Hawk Logistics was started by Amrit Paul and Harmanpreet Singh in 2014 with just one truck – and over the past 10 years has experienced exponential growth.
Today Hawk Logistics employs over 500 people and operates over 800 assets, including trucks, trailer and logistics equipment; and operates out of facilities in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Griffith.
Hawk Logistics revealed earlier in the year that while it was already operating across Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, it had plans to target other cities and growth corridors.
Farragher Logistics has a rich history, starting in 1933 as a furniture removals business. By 1982, the core focus of the business had shifted to freight, shop fittings and refrigeration transport. Today, the business specialises in refrigerated transport and cold storage warehousing – delivering across the east coast, as well as the east to west run into Perth.
“We are proud to announce that Hawk Logistics has acquired Farragher Logistics, a 91-year-old company with a rich legacy in the Australian transport industry,” Hawk Logistics said in its announcement online.
“This strategic acquisition expands our service capabilities and strengthens our operational reach across the country.”
As part of the new acquisition, Hawk Logistics will retain Farragher’s team of drivers and assets.
“This partnership reflects our commitment to delivering reliable and efficient transport solutions nationwide,” Hawk Logistics said.
“By integrating a business with nearly a century of experience, we honour Farragher Logistics’ legacy while continuing to innovate and set new standards of excellence. Today’s milestone stays true to our mission of challenging the logistics industry by providing innovative solutions and delivering customer excellence.”
This latest move by Hawk Logistics follows its recent acquisition of AR Logistics 12 months ago, in December 2023, which included over 100 vehicles and a depot in Adelaide – allowing the business to expand into South Australia.
Hawk Logistics has also revealed it has plans to expand its services into the Northern Territory too.
