Seeley International has finalised a major three-year contract deal with
Adelaide-based freight company, Kangaroo Transport Industries (KTI) for the
haulage of its award-winning air conditioning and heating products across
Australia.
Seeley International founder and Executive Chairman, Mr Frank Seeley AM observed
that his company’s alignment with a like-minded family-operated business will
help secure jobs, and strengthen the economy.
Pointing out the similarities between the two companies, Mr Seeley said
that both Seeley International and KTI are family owned and operated businesses
that have withstood the test of time, and are now acknowledged for service
excellence and market leadership.
According to Mr Seeley, the logistics contract is a good example of how
two successful businesses can work together to achieve a win-win outcome, and
hopefully serve as inspiration for others to do what they can, to also support
and secure Australian jobs.
He adds that Seeley International takes great pride in aligning with
only the best, and KTI offers a bespoke logistics service at a competitive
price, along with the assurance of reliability when it comes to distribution
and delivery of their products.
KTI CEO Mr Stephen Buck said that they will be fulfilling a major part
of Seeley International’s national logistics function for finished goods from
its logistics centres in Adelaide, Albury, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney.
He added that the announcement represented the culmination of many years
of developing, refining and strengthening their national transport capabilities
to enable them to service their clients’ total logistics needs, including line
haul services across Australia, rail services to WA, warehousing and
distribution, and external storage.
The contract, which is worth more than $20m has commenced on 1 November
2014.
