History

The history of Linfox Logistics

Lindsay Fox was the son of a truck driver who left school at the age of 16. He bought his first truck when he was 19 and founded Linfox Logistics.

In 1956 the company consisted of one man and a truck. Today, Logistics generates 15,000 jobs, operates a fleet of 5,000 vehicles, with more than 260 operating sites and more than 1.8 million square metres of warehousing space. Lindsay Fox is still involved with the business he founded.

Growth in the Asia Pacific region

Linfox first established operations in Asia in 1984. Today it operates in 11 countries including Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, China and Hong Kong. Operations in Vietnam and India have seen rapid growth more recently and Linfox now employs more than 4,000 people throughout Asia. Key to Linfox’s success in Asia is a keen understanding of the cultural, political and business issues in each area of operations.
