What Matic Group does
Matic Group is a privately held Australian specialized transport and logistics company headquartered in Bibra Lake, Western Australia, founded in 2002 by Managing Director Danny Matic (Zdenko Matic). The company provides B2B contract-based transport, freight, and supply-chain services to enterprise clients primarily in the mining, cement and lime, oil and gas, fertilizer, and industrial sectors across Western Australia, the Northern Territory, South Australia, Victoria, and Queensland. Matic is organized around five operating units: Matic Resources (dedicated supply-chain services for Rio Tinto Iron Ore across 16 Pilbara mine sites), Matic Transport Australia (pneumatic tanker bulk commodity operations), Matic Logistics (bulk tipper, stevedoring, and wharf discharge), Bibra Lake Trailer Repairs (in-house 24/7 trailer maintenance), and a Support & Control Centre for real-time fleet monitoring.
The business operates a fleet of 210 trucks, 700 trailers and dollies, and over 100 light vehicles across more than ten depot locations, traveling approximately 10 million kilometers per annum and generating revenue through long-term enterprise contracts rather than spot or transactional volume. Its proprietary technology platform is the Matic Portal (MTMS), a custom-developed transport management system launched in 2018 and powered by Bustle, providing job booking, delivery scheduling, GPS tracking, geo-fencing, telematics integration, fatigue management with Electronic Work Diaries, and customer/vendor-facing portals across the Pilbara operations. The Support & Control Centre monitors 150 vehicles in real time across five states with intervention capability for driver fatigue and distraction events.
Matic sells exclusively through direct enterprise sales and dedicated account management, with quote-based engagement and no publicly disclosed pricing. Its customer roster is anchored by multi-year dedicated or exclusive contracts with Rio Tinto Iron Ore, Cockburn Cement (exclusive WA cement and lime cartage since 2011), Adelaide Brighton Cement, Northern Cement, Summit Fertilizers, Agility Logistics (Gorgon Gas Mainland Logistics Project), and Wesfarmers Kleenheat Gas. Sub-brands, including Matic Resources, Matic Transport Australia, Matic Logistics, and Bibra Lake Trailer Repairs, are wholly owned and reported under a founder-led group with no disclosed institutional or private equity ownership.

Matic Group competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Toll Holdings: One of Australia's largest logistics providers (now under Japan Post), offering road, rail, sea, and air freight plus specialized resources-sector services. Comparable as a major Australian multi-modal transport incumbent with significant mining-sector exposure, though much broader in scope than Matic's specialized Pilbara focus.
- Qube Holdings: ASX-listed integrated logistics provider with port operations, bulk haulage, and a resources-sector division serving mining customers. Comparable on bulk and specialized industrial transport for the resources sector, particularly across Australian port/rail/road corridors.
- Linfox: Privately held Australian logistics leader with large truck fleets, dedicated distribution centers, and a strong resources-sector practice. Comparable on fleet scale, multi-site depot network, and long-term enterprise mining customers, but with national general-freight breadth beyond Matic's Pilbara specialization.
Direct peers
- SCT Logistics: Australian road and rail freight provider operating bulk and containerized services nationally, with significant resources-sector exposure. Comparable on dedicated fleet operations, multi-state depot network, and blue-chip mining/industrial customer base.
- Centurion Transport: Australian specialized bulk transport and logistics operator with a strong focus on the mining, oil & gas, and resource sectors. Directly comparable on specialized equipment, dangerous goods handling, and dedicated mining-customer contracts across WA and nationally.
- McColl's Transport: Australian bulk liquids and specialized transport provider with national operations across fuels, lubricants, and industrial chemicals. Comparable on specialized equipment (pneumatic tankers, dangerous goods), long-term enterprise contracts, and dedicated fleet operations.
- K&S Corporation: ASX-listed Australian transport and logistics company with a core focus on bulk and specialized freight for the resources and infrastructure sectors. Comparable on dedicated fleet, multi-state network, and resource-industry customer mix.
- Lindsay Australia: ASX-listed rural and regional transport company with bulk and specialized freight across Australia. Comparable on multi-site depot model, dedicated fleet operations, and exposure to industrial/mining customers in regional Australia.
Regional players
- Hi-Trans Express: Western Australia–focused transport and logistics operator serving mining and industrial customers. Directly comparable on WA/Pilbara regional exposure and resource-sector customer base, though smaller in fleet scale.
- McNaughts Transport: WA-based specialized heavy haulage and general freight operator. Comparable on heavy haulage capabilities, WA-based operations, and mining-sector customers in the Pilbara and beyond.
