BTi Logistics Pty Ltd
BTi Logistics Pty Ltd is a Melbourne-based Australian freight forwarder with a long-standing track record in international transport and supply chain management. The company originated from the Bechtrans Group of Companies, which was established in Melbourne in 1981 as a privately owned ocean freight forwarder. Over the years, the organization expanded its footprint beyond the U.S. inbound market to serve a broader range of international forwarding needs. This expansion included the opening of offices or appointed agents across major Australian capital cities to facilitate seamless delivery and collection services throughout Australia.
From the outset, Bechtrans International focused on delivering reliable, sound service for its customers and built a network with transport professionals in key trading centers around the world. This approach helped sustain high standards of service for Australian importers and exporters, reinforcing the company’s reputation in the international transport community.
A noteworthy milestone occurred on March 1, 2002, when Bechtrans International rebranded as BTi Logistics Pty Ltd to better reflect its evolving activities in total supply chain management. The rebranding signified a shift toward an integrated logistics approach that encompasses more than traditional ocean freight services.
BTi Logistics’ history of growth was recognized in the BRW - Price Waterhouse Fastest Growing Private Companies list, highlighting its continued expansion within Australia’s private sector logistics landscape. While specific service lines beyond ocean freight are not detailed in the available materials, the company’s emphasis on total supply chain management indicates capabilities across multiple stages of international logistics, including coordination, documentation, and program management for importers and exporters.
As with many long-standing freight forwarders, BTi Logistics maintains relationships with global transport professionals to ensure service reliability and coverage across major trading centers. This network, together with its domestic presence in Australian capital cities, supports its ability to facilitate international shipments and provide end-to-end logistics solutions for clients operating in diverse industries.
