Australian transport giant Lindsay Australia has revealed a new acquisition, with the brand completing the sale agreement for GJ Freight.
The acquisition sees Lindsay Australia expand into the Western Australian market by acquiring the assets and staff of the Bunbury-based integrated logistics and packaging business.
“GJ Freight is a well-established, complementary business operating across six sites in south-west WA, currently generating more than $20 million in annual revenue,” Lindsay Australia says in its half-year 2025 presentation.

With the sale agreement executed this month, the acquisition is expected to be completed by March 31 subject to customary conditions.
Lindsay Australia says the acquisition gives it diversification and expansion into the south-west WA horticultural market and the opportunity to grow an integrated intra-state transport offering that connects to the Lindsay national network via its Perth operations.
It also provides Lindsay with a platform to establish rural operations in WA and into the Goulburn Valley while leveraging the Hunter network to replicate Lindsay’s fruit loop model. Lindsay Australia will also look to partner with Redland Premium Farms as a cornerstone customer.
The company has revealed the operations are set to commence on April 1 this year, following in the footsteps of its recent acquisitions of two off-market rural stores in Nagambie and Seymour.
