GLOBAL HOME
Efficient supply chain logistics is now recognised as a competitive advantage for many businesses and their reviews of their supply chains continue to provide Mainfreight with many opportunities.
Around the world, growth in the global logistics industry continues to outpace GDP growth, and we have a successful track record in taking advantage of these developments.
Further, the growth available to Mainfreight continues to increase as we move to countries with large populations, introducing our unique, quality approach to creating supply chain solutions for our customers across both domestic and international trade lanes.
Mainfreight’s dividend has never decreased year-on-year and over the past three years, an investment in Mainfreight has comprehensively outperformed the wider New Zealand sharemarket, with the total return to shareholders (dividend yield plus share price appreciation) ranging from 52% to 80%.
Mainfreight has a strong and unique company culture which is clearly reflected in the team spirit of our people. In conjunction with Mainfreight's financial and operational strengths, the attitude of our people unquestionably contributes to the continuing profitability of the Group.
