We’re proud to announce the successful settlement of Coda Group’s Auckland 3PL Transport, Auckland Freight Station (FAK), and Christchurch (Rolleston) DC operations as of August 1, 2025.
ACFS will officially commence operations on Sunday, 3rd August 2025, trading as ACFS Port Logistics NZ (ACFS).
This marks a significant milestone for ACFS as we acquire one of New Zealand’s major port logistics operators. This acquisition enables us to replicate our comprehensive Australian end-to-end landside offering across New Zealand, including:
· FCL Transport
· FCL Depots
· Warehousing Freight Station (FAK)
· 3PL Warehousing
· An Empty Depot in Auckland under our JV brand Tyne ACFS
Arthur Tzaneros, Managing Director & CEO of ACFS, says:
“We can now stop treading water in the NZ market and offer our full suite of services to customers, while adding greater value to those transitioning from Coda. With critical infrastructure in strategic Auckland and Christchurch locations, we can execute our strategy of delivering seamless port logistics solutions that improve efficiency, provide flexibility through FCL storage facilities, and 24-hour transport services via road and rail — all while delivering cost-competitive outcomes for our valued customers.”
Steve Butler, Head of Port Logistics Oceania, adds:
“For me, this now completes our full spectrum offering across both Australia and New Zealand. Being able to service clients seamlessly across both countries and deliver outstanding service excites me. I can’t wait to support the exceptional New Zealand team.”
This milestone represents more than expansion, it is the culmination of strategic planning, a shared culture, and a united focus on delivering exceptional service. As we integrate operations, our priorities are ensuring continuity for customers, supporting our people, and living our values across both sides of the Tasman.
Wayne Morris, Chief Operating Officer, shares:
“In my time working on this project, I’ve come to know the CODA team and am proud to welcome them into our family. As we always say at ACFS: ‘One Team, One Brand, One Culture’.”
While Australian management and employees will play a strong role in the integration, ACFS has already appointed two senior executives locally — bringing strong operational and management experience to drive the business to new heights, the ACFS way. Stay tuned for more on these key appointments.
