What SRT Logistics does

SRT Logistics is a Tasmania-based refrigerated transport and dry grocery logistics provider servicing wholesale and retail food industries across eastern Australia. Founded in 1996 by Jim Miller as Statewide Refrigerated Transport, the company operates a fleet of 170 trucks, 80 small vans and heavy rigid vehicles, over 200 trailers, and 120 40-foot reefer containers, supported by four distribution centres in Tasmania and Victoria plus depot operations in Sydney and Brisbane. Its core offering integrates refrigerated road transport, warehousing (chilled, frozen, and dry storage with cross-docking), Bass Strait shipping via partnerships with TT-Line, Searoad Shipping, and Straitlink Shipping, and end-to-end supply chain management, with technology layers including Cooltrax live temperature monitoring, MTData fleet telemetry and electronic work diaries, and a Sign On Glass digital proof-of-delivery portal.

The business serves enterprise customers including Woolworths, Simplot, Inghams, Bega, Asahi Beverages, and a long tail of Tasmanian producers (Ashgrove Cheese, Moo Brew, Hansen Orchards, Tasmanian Bakeries). Revenue is generated via transaction-fee transport services and managed-services warehousing under bespoke quote-based B2B contracts, with bookings managed through direct depot relationships or a customer online portal. The company operates 24/7 in Tasmania with directly employed drivers and warehouse staff, using labour hire only at peak periods.

In May 2025, ASX-listed Lindsay Australia acquired 100% of SRT Logistics for A$108.2 million, forming Australia's largest refrigerated logistics network with combined annual revenues expected to exceed A$1 billion. SRT continues to operate as a wholly owned subsidiary under CEO Rob Miller, who joined the Lindsay board as Executive Director, while the Miller family retained approximately 12.8% of Lindsay Australia.
