Centurion Transport

Overview

Founded in 1971 by Perth-based brothers Frank and Carl Cardaci, Centurion Transport has grown from a single truck operation into one of Australia’s five largest third-party logistics (3PL) providers. As Western Australia’s largest independently owned and operated transport and logistics company, Centurion operates a fleet of over 2,000 vehicle assets across 20 distribution centres nationwide.

The company’s success over five decades has been built on anticipating market shifts and strategic acquisitions, including Brambles (1999), Hampton’s Transport (2010), and OGT (2011), which facilitated their entry into the oil and gas sector. Today, Centurion’s vehicles travel more than 60 million kilometres annually, delivering essential goods to industries and regions across Western Australia, Northern Territory, and Queensland.

With a Western Australian footprint covering over 400,000 square metres including facilities in Perth, the Pilbara, the Kimberley, Murchison, and the Goldfields, Centurion has established itself as the premier logistics provider for the mining, energy, and resources sectors in Australia’s resource-rich regions.
