Schmitz Cargobull invests in MaxiTRANS, the largest Australian provider of semi-trailers with a nationwide after-market service and support network. Schmitz Cargobull will contribute its expertise to local manufacturing. MaxiTRANS is part of the Australian Trailer Solutions Group (ATSG), in which Schmitz Cargobull has acquired a minority stake (26%).
(Horstmar/Wendouree) This partnership aims to secure the long-term success of MaxiTRANS in the Australian market. ATSG consists of a group of local investors who acquired MaxiTRANS in September 2021.
“Our investment in MaxiTRANS offers great potential for synergies in production and the introduction of advanced technologies to further advance the Australian trailer industry,” says Andreas Schmitz, CEO of Schmitz Cargobull.
“We are pleased to have Schmitz Cargobull as a partner of MaxiTRANS,” says Greg L’Estrange, MaxiTRANS Executive Chairman. “Schmitz Cargobull has an excellent reputation and offers high quality, innovative design, and durability with its extensive product range. That a company with this international reputation appreciates our plans for the MaxiTRANS business is a confirmation for our employees and for the trust of our customers, which they have contributed to since ATSG’s entry to further expand the business.”
Partnership Enables Implementation
“The partnership with Schmitz Cargobull will allow us to collaborate on technology, processes, and scalability in production, which can then be implemented in the MaxiTRANS operation.” The support from Schmitz Cargobull, along with our own investments in the company, enables us to streamline our processes, gain advantages in global supply chains, so that MaxiTRANS can continue to focus on the highest product quality and support for our customers,” says Greg L’Estrange. “Moreover, we are in tune with global trends and technologies that we can leverage and implement in the Australian market.”
“We look forward to the future of MaxiTRANS. In collaboration with our investment partners, we will continue to support our customers throughout the entire product lifecycle,” Greg L’Estrange adds.
