Remote Global

What Remote Global does

Remote Global is an industrial wholesaler and project logistics specialist serving mining, energy, construction, and government operations across Australia, Papua New Guinea, and the South Pacific. Founded in 2010 by Daniel Lewis, the company operates from its headquarters in Northgate, Queensland, and maintains warehouse and distribution infrastructure in both Australia and Papua New Guinea. Its customer base spans underground and open-cut mining operations (including Porgera Mine), government infrastructure projects in Nauru and Manus Island, defence and disaster relief procurement, and broader infrastructure builds. The company employs 11-50 staff and positions itself as a specialist partner for operations in remote locations where standard supply chains do not reach.

The company's offering is anchored by RG Connect, a centralised procurement platform providing access to 100+ suppliers and millions of product lines, with Quick Quote functionality, real-time order tracking, and a dedicated sourcing team. RG Connect is supported by a portfolio of service lines: Industrial Wholesale and Procurement (authorised distribution of brands including Dräger, Fuchs, Donaldson, National Plastics and Rubber, Milwaukee, Uvex, and an exclusive supply partnership with Bunnings); Project and Complex Logistics (dangerous goods handling, customs clearance, air and sea freight); Special Projects (dewatering systems, fire trucks, armoured vehicles, and full project bill-of-materials delivery); Dräger Services (in-country calibration and servicing of safety equipment); Training Services (accredited and non-accredited safety training delivered from a residential facility in Lae, PNG); Rental and Shutdown Services; and Remote Site Boxes (pre-stocked portable stores with automated inventory tracking). The architecture combines a digital procurement hub with physical warehousing, qualified in-country technicians, and authorised service capabilities.

Remote Global operates a B2B enterprise sales motion with relationship-based, consultative selling. Pricing is quote-based with no publicly disclosed rate cards; the company offers free initial consultations and commits to an 8-hour response time for enquiries. Revenue is generated through industrial wholesale margins (one-time sales of stock product), project logistics fees, equipment servicing and calibration, training delivery, and rental income. The go-to-market is sales-led, with the founder actively engaged in client relationships, supported by direct phone outreach and the RG Connect platform for existing client reordering. Geographic expansion has been a deliberate focus, building in-country presence in PNG to overcome the operational complexity of customs, taxation, and compliance regimes that deter many competitors.

Direct peers

• Blackwoods: Australia's largest industrial distributor (part of Wesfarmers Industrial & Safety), supplying safety, MRO, and tools to mining, energy, and infrastructure. Directly comparable as a B2B industrial wholesaler targeting the same customer verticals, though Blackwoods operates at national scale rather than focused on the South Pacific.
• Suttons: Australian industrial supplier of bearings, power transmission, and MRO products to mining, manufacturing, and infrastructure. Comparable on the specialist industrial wholesale model serving mining and resource customers, though with a narrower product mix than Remote Global's safety + logistics stack.
• Total Tools: Australia's largest specialist tool and industrial equipment retailer, stocking power tools, PPE, and consumables from brands including Milwaukee. Comparable on the industrial tools and PPE distribution model to mining/construction customers, and a potential adjacency given Remote Global's Milwaukee partnership.

Broad incumbents

• Motion Industries: Global industrial parts and MRO distributor operating in Australia, supplying bearings, power transmission, safety, and fluid power to mining and heavy industry. Comparable as a broad-line industrial distributor to resource customers, but with a much larger catalogue and geographic footprint.
• W.W. Grainger: Global MRO industrial distributor with Australian operations, offering millions of SKUs to industrial customers. Comparable on the procurement-platform and broad-line distribution model, but operates at significantly larger scale and lacks Remote Global's South Pacific specialisation.

Others

• TRFastenings: Global distributor of industrial fasteners and engineered components, serving manufacturing, energy, and infrastructure. Comparable on the industrial distribution model and B2B customer overlap in mining/energy, but does not provide the in-country logistics and dangerous goods compliance that distinguishes Remote Global.
• Dräger: German manufacturer of safety equipment (gas detection, breathing apparatus) that is both a principal supplier and partial service competitor to Remote Global. Comparable as a safety-equipment brand carried by Remote Global and as a provider of calibration/servicing that Remote Global performs under authorised-distributor terms.
• Caterpillar (PNG operations): OEM of mining and construction equipment with established PNG distribution and aftermarket support. Comparable as a major supplier into the same PNG mining customer base (including Porgera), and an adjacent participant in the same heavy-industrial supply ecosystem.

Regional players

• Pacific International Logistics: PNG-focused logistics and freight company providing sea, air, and road transport as well as customs clearance across the South Pacific. Comparable on the cross-border PNG/South Pacific logistics, customs, and freight-forwarding capabilities that underpin Remote Global's project logistics offering.
• Air Liquide: Global industrial gases and services provider with PNG and Pacific operations supplying mining and energy customers. Comparable on the in-country technical service, dangerous goods handling, and remote-site delivery model serving PNG resource customers.
