Matic Transport commences operations whereby Company Director Danny Matic purchases his first Prime Mover.
From a strategic point-of-view, the company seized upon opportunities within the pneumatic tanker sector of the industry and recognized a niche in the market place.
Matic performed cement and lime cartage services on behalf of BIS Industries whereby the company strived for specialization and uniqueness in the service offering.
