Inland Packing & Storage commenced operation in 1997 in Narrabri, New South Wales. From its earliest days, it has been a leader in international logistics.

We started in agribusiness – handling cotton and later wheat. As our reputation grew, so did our capabilities, and we were soon handling hundreds of thousands of tonnes of paper, timber, seeds, grains, protein meals and other general cargo commodities each year.

We also quickly grew our operations, expanding to include purpose-built facilities in the three major east-coast Australian ports – Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.

This growth was facilitated by our rigorous procedures and quality controls – including computer-based logistics and innovative commodity-based solutions, modern purpose-built facilities and independent on-site testing.

In 2006 and 2007, we expanded the business again – on two fronts.
In addition to warehousing, we broadened our supply chain to include freight forwarding, customs broking and transport services.

And in addition to agribusiness, we expanded our industry sectors to include mining, construction, packaging, furniture, homewares and food.

This expansion has been a strategic move to insulate the business against the fluctuating risks posed by the agricultural industry, such as droughts and crop failures.

It has also opened the door to new opportunities, and enables more Australian businesses to access the exceptional service that IPS provides.
