Expansion follows global success - Circuit Logistics Ltd

Pukekohe based Circuit Logistics has rapidly established itself as a leader in the global ISO Tank and liquid logistics sector in its near five years of operation, which has led it to launch its company in Australia in recent months.

It’s a significant milestone for the small but growing team specialising in global bulk liquids for food, chemical and gases logistics, says CEO Tanja Zurbruegg.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

“We’ve just opened Circuit Australia. I’ve got someone in Sydney, and things happening in Brisbane,” she shares.  “I’ve had customers in Asia tell us - We really need someone like you in Australia,” she says, “So one day it just hit me that I could do the same thing we do here and duplicate it in Australia.”

Setting up in Australia was a complex, year-long process, but it reflects the company’s commitment to meeting growing global demand for high-quality service in ISO Tank container logistics.

With headquarters in Pukekohe, a wine office in Blenheim and a new presence in Australia, Circuit Logistics can provide a wide range of ISO Tanks across three core divisions: food-grade liquids (such as edible oils and wines), chemicals (including hazardous materials), and gases (like CO₂ and argon).

ISO Tanks are securely housed within robust 20" steel frames and consist of spacious stainless-steel pressure vessels.

Notably, Circuit Logistics managed critical CO₂ imports during supply crises in both New Zealand and Australia for Coca-Cola, Fonterra and many more companies in recent times. At one stage importing most of the CO₂ into New Zealand from overseas says Tanja, who brings decades of global logistics experience to her role. In addition, her Swiss heritage drives her passion for continual improvement on productivity and efficiencies.

The company were also pivotal in the recovery of fuel from the wreck of the sunken Navy vessel HMNZA Manawanui off the coast of Samoa, supplying all the ISO Tanks for clean-up operations.

The company also supports industries ranging from building materials and cleaning solvents to wine and fish oil exports, working with clients like Sealord and various agricultural producers.

“We work with a number of large companies who require liquid logistics, and I would say most of the ISO chemical Tanks imported are for the building sector,” she says, “so supplies for paint industry, chipboard manufacturers, paper mills and solvents for the cleaning industry.”

Circuit Logistics is recognised as an industry leader in bulk food grade liquid transportation, particularly for their Flexitank solutions for bulk liquids and food grade products.

A lot of wines gets shipped in Flexitanks which is a flexible plastic bag shipped within a normal shipping container and can include innovative features, like heat pads and oxygen layers. However, they are not particularly environmentally sustainable as a single use product, so Circuit Logistics are looking at innovative ways to encourage greater use of reusable ISO Tanks for shipping food grade products.

As the company continues to innovate and expand, Tanja credits her team for the company’s achievements.  “If it wasn’t for the amazing staff I have, I wouldn’t be where I am now.”
