Dairy and fresh
Consumers want quality fresh food and dairy products delivered to all corners of our nations.
Top performing supply chains must be able to bridge the needs of growers, suppliers and cold chain specialists to move produce quickly from paddock to plate.

The Linfox network includes a series of temperature-controlled distribution centres, cross-dock facilities, and a fleet with the latest in vehicle, trailer and container equipment. Linfox’s warehouse and transport management systems integrate with retailer systems to track location and control temperature from despatch to drop-off.
