Parmalat Australia appointed Linfox to distribute its well known Pauls milk brands across metropolitan and regional New South Wales in October this year.
Ash Patel, Acting Linfox Vice President FMCG said, “Linfox brings great expertise in milk distribution to Parmalat.”
Linfox’s fleet for Parmalat includes 12 refrigerated trailers, one refrigerated rigid truck and six new Freightliner CST112 prime movers. All trailers are equipped with Cooltrax, the latest in GPS temperature monitoring to ensure product integrity throughout the distribution operation.
Linfox Site Manager, Chris Buhagiar said his team based at Parmalat’s Lidcombe site was well trained for the job.
“It’s important that our drivers understand exactly how to handle their product and to drive to Linfox standards. That includes safe driving and our Eco-Driving techniques that help reduce carbon emissions,” said Chris.
New drivers on the team were recruited by Linfox’s Direct Recruitment team, which makes sure Linfox employs the most highly skilled drivers who understand the company’s requirements.
