Canterbury-based transport and logistics firm Hilton Haulage is set to expand into the Nelson Tasman region with the acquisition of family-owned Austin Transport Services Limited, effective April 1, 2025.
The company says the move marks a significant milestone as it strengthens its nationwide network and broadens its service offerings.
Hilton Haulage says the expansion will bring greater efficiencies and improved transport solutions to both new and existing customers.
“With this expansion, we bring enhanced transport solutions, greater efficiencies, and a continued commitment to delivering exceptional service to both new and existing customers.
“As we join the Nelson Tasman community, we look forward to fostering new partnerships, supporting local businesses, and helping drive the growth of the region,” the company says.
Austin Transport Services has more than 30 years of experience in the trucking industry. Since 2005, it was operated by Bryan and Lisa Austin with a fleet of over 30 trucks out of their depots in Richmond, Auckland, and Christchurch.
