Alvaro Transport was founded in 1978 by Antonio Alvaro with one truck contracted to ACI Formould. In 1997 Mario Alvaro took over the reins from his ailing father and from humble beginnings, with a grounding in good old fashioned service and a determination to succeed, Alvaro Transport emerged as one of the fastest growing privately owned fleets in the country. 

With a strong focus on customer service, Alvaro Transport progressively built and grew its own unique customised logistics model to deliver results fast. Incorporating key components of operational expertise together with a vast range of services, infrastructure, technology solutions and a custom-built fleet, the business became an extension of its customers’ operations. This customised approach ultimately assisted in reducing distribution costs whilst maintaining a professional image, together with a customer care policy that consistently went beyond expectations. 

With its nucleus in Sydney, Alvaro Transport provided contract management and warehouse solutions supported by a custom-built fleet tailored to each client’s requirements. Essentially, the business ensured all the pieces fitted together to deliver the results customers needed. This customised approach was proven through long-term partnerships across the steel, FMCG, plumbing and container handling industries, together with complete distribution facilities and specialised logistics solutions across multiple sectors. 

Its management system was a living and breathing entity that required the ongoing commitment and involvement of all management, employees, contractors and suppliers. Incorporating environmental responsibilities, workplace health and safety, and government legislative compliance, the company continually drove ongoing improvement and outstanding customer care that saw it become the supplier of choice. 

Today, the business continues to evolve through its transition into Alvaro Logistics Group, reflecting a broader vision and expansion across multiple areas of the logistics and supply chain sector. While maintaining the same family values, customer-first approach and operational expertise the company was founded on, the group is diversifying into integrated logistics solutions including transport, warehousing, linehaul operations, specialised distribution, infrastructure development and emerging logistics technologies. This transition positions Alvaro Logistics Group for continued long-term growth while strengthening its ability to provide end-to-end supply chain solutions tailored to the evolving needs of its clients.
