About
Headquartered in Auckland, New Zealand, and founded in 1972, PBT Group Ltd. is focused on freight logistics services. In August 2025, Mainstream Limited agreed to acquire PBT Group Ltd. from Waterman Capital.
PBT Express Freight Network offers a comprehensive suite of express and general freight services across New Zealand, catering to a diverse range of logistical needs. Their core product offerings include general freight pallets, full truckloads, and container movements via both ocean and airfreight. PBT's services solve common logistical challenges, such as timely delivery of goods, efficient handling of import and export cargo, and facilitating nationwide distribution of LTL (Less Than Truckload) and FTL (Full Truckload) consignments. The firm serves a broad client base that encompasses businesses of all sizes, from local retailers to large-scale manufacturers, ensuring that freight is moved seamlessly throughout the country, including major markets beyond their home region.
Their operational capabilities extend from Kaitaia to Bluff, supported by a robust network of locations, systems, and a versatile fleet dedicated to enhancing supply chain efficiencies. PBT Express Freight Network generates revenue through a structured transaction model that includes a mix of B2B services and direct partnerships with clients. Customers typically engage PBT for logistics solutions based on their freight needs, with pricing determined by the type and volume of services rendered. PBTOne, their Freight Management System, provides clients with real-time visibility and control over their shipments, further strengthening the value proposition of their services.
While specific pricing details are not disclosed, the structure emphasizes flexibility and tailored solutions to meet the diverse needs of their clientele.
