- Mainfreight Limited (MFGHF) provides global supply chain logistics services, including managed warehousing; domestic and cross-border road and rail transport; international air and ocean freight forwarding; metro and wharf cartage; and supply chain management solutions. The company operates through three main divisions—Transport, Warehousing, and Air & Ocean—serving diverse customers across manufacturing, retail, and distribution sectors with end-to-end freight services. Mainfreight maintains an extensive network of over 337 branches in 27 countries throughout New Zealand, Australia, Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Founded in 1978 and headquartered in Otahuhu, Auckland, New Zealand, the company listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange in 1996 and employs more than 11,000 team members worldwide.
In its fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, Mainfreight reported revenue of NZ$5.24 billion, up 11%, with profit before tax of NZ$383.6 million, down 3%, reflecting sales growth across all regions amid competitive pressures and higher property costs. Recent expansions include new transport cross-docks in Auckland, Hastings, Whanganui, Brisbane, and Townsville; warehousing facilities in Christchurch, Melbourne (airfreight perishables), and Romania; and hazardous goods storage in Auckland, with further projects underway through 2026. The company closed three underperforming warehousing branches in Asia and exited overflow warehouses in Australia to improve margins, while advancing network development in Europe, the Americas, and Canada amid US tariff impacts, and discontinued one-off ocean freight project activity to focus on core operations.
