Orora has sealed a deal with Australia's largest refrigerated logistics provider AHG, strengthening Orora Fibre Packaging's service offering to its fruit and produce corrugated customer base.

The new partnership between Orora and AHG becomes effective on 19 October, and gives Orora Fibre Packaging access to AHG's comprehensive logistics infrastructure.

AHG is Australia’s largest refrigerated logistics provider with an extensive road and rail transport fleet complemented by cold stores in all Australian capital cities. The AHG transport network includes the well-known company names of Rand, Harris, Scott’s Refrigerated Freightways and JAT.

Through this partnership, Orora Fibre Packaging's supply of fit-for-purpose, corrugated cartons to the Australian fruit and produce sector will be complemented by an additional logistics service offering.

Orora says AHG's logistics infrastructure will see the delivery of cartons in a timely manner to customers, with market-leading capability to collect and protect their fresh produce through the transport chain ensuring it arrives to market in optimal condition.

“Orora strives to be a customer-led provider of innovative packaging solutions, and this partnership with AHG is a significant step in that journey,” Nigel Garrard, MD and CEO, Orora Limited, said.

“Orora and AHG can now offer our fruit and produce customers an end-to-end packaging solution for their produce, from carton to market in pristine condition.”
