Bertling & Clemenger form new JV in Australia for logistics

The joint venture (JV) company has established its headquarters in Perth, with a strategic presence in Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane. The main purpose of the JV is to actively tap into sectors like energy, mining, and construction, leveraging the significant capacities of its parent companies, Bertling Logistics said in a press release.

Clemenger Bertling Projects announced the appointment of Chris Nicholson as its general manager. Nicholson, an industry veteran who has been with Clemenger since 2015, is anticipated to bring valuable experience and leadership to the new venture.

Clemenger will contribute its varied local logistics expertise, partner network, and access to modern transport vehicles and equipment. Bertling will bring in its global office and supplier network, a modern IT infrastructure, and a varied project expertise in Australia and neighbouring ASPAC countries, such as Singapore, China, Malaysia and Indonesia, the release added.

“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,” said Bertling Logistics CEO Colin MacIsaac.
