Linfox is a transport company established in Australia by Lindsay Fox in 1956.
Linfox has over 9,000 employees and a fleet of over 4,200 vehicles including over 500 armoured vehicles. It has over 250 sites of operation with a total of over 1,000,000 square metres of warehousing space. It operates Avalon and Essendon airports, both near Melbourne, and has operations in eight countries in Australia and southeast Asia.
With the acquisition of Armaguard from Mayne Logistics in 2003 and FCL in 2006, Linfox became the largest privately owned logistics and supply chain solutions provider in the Asia-Pacific region. Linfox is the second-largest road freight company in Australia (after Toll Holdings).[1]
