Clemenger Bertling Projects to Focus on Energy, Mining and Construction
Bertling Logistics has joined forces with Clemenger International Freight to form a new joint venture in Australia.
The Perth-headquartered company, Clemenger Bertling Projects, will focus on new and existing business opportunities in Australia’s flourishing energy, mining and construction sectors, and will be headed by General Manager Chris Nicholson.
The JV, which began operations on 1 July, will also boast offices in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, as well as a network of partners and suppliers throughout Australia.
“Australia has always been an important market for Bertling Logistics, and our global team is passionate about all the new business opportunities arising in the country,” said Colin MacIsaac, CEO of Bertling Logistics.
“Clemenger’s skilled team, high-quality services and wide-spread local network are well-known within Australia. We are convinced that our new JV will obtain a leading position in the Australian logistics market and that we will be ideally positioned to adequately respond to and serve the logistics need arising from the ongoing energy transition.”
Bertling and Clemenger have worked together in Australia for several years, and as agency partners since 2015. Clemenger, which focuses on general freight forwarding and in-house customs clearance services in Australia, will contribute its varied local logistics expertise, partner network, and access to modern transport vehicles and equipment.
Bertling meanwhile will bring its global office and supplier network, a modern IT infrastructure, and varied project expertise in Australia and neighboring ASPAC countries, such as Singapore, China, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
According to Bertling, of special value will be the JV’s in-house customs consultancy and clearance services, which will enable the company to offer door-to-door service, advice, and documentation services to their local and global client base.
“We are proud to have in Bertling Logistics a loyal partner to add value and broaden our local service offering in Australia and to diversify our portfolio,” said Michael Clemenger, managing director of Clemenger. “We know their dedication, go-anywhere approach and high-quality transport engineering know-how very well from our long-term collaboration and look forward to consolidating our both companies’ competencies under one roof from now on.”
Bertling Logistics will be exhibiting at Breakbulk Americas 2023, taking place on 26-28 September at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas.
