ACFS Port Logistics (ACFS) has expanded its New Zealand footprint by buying the Coda Group’s Auckland 3PL Transport, Auckland Freight Station and the Rolleston DC in Christchurch.
The transition is expected to be completed by May 1, when the business will operate and be rebranded as ACFS Port Logistics.
This acquisition does not affect Coda Group’s 4PL operations, nor its Bay of Plenty and Savill Drive locations, which will continue to operate as part of the company’s broader strategy in New Zealand.
Since entering the New Zealand market in Auckland in late 2023 with a 25,000sqm warehouse located at Otahuhu, ACFS has been actively pursuing acquisition targets to mirror its service offering with the Australian business.
Arthur Tzaneros, CEO and Managing Director of ACFS Port Logistics, said he is excited to welcome Coda Group’s talented team into the growing ACFS business.
“Coda’s capabilities, service offering, and reputation align closely with our existing operations in Australia,” he said.
“Together, we will strengthen our value proposition for customers throughout New Zealand, and aggressively expand our footprint as a major player in the containerised logistics market.”
Founded in 2015, Coda Group has established itself as a key logistics provider in New Zealand, offering fully integrated logistics solutions across imports, exports, warehousing, freight hubs, and freight management.
Over the past decade, Coda has expanded by incorporating several legacy freight and transport brands, delivering high-quality services to a wide range of customers across the region, and is widely regarded as one of the largest and leading operators in the New Zealand containerised sector.
