Bullocks Freightmasters | INO Summit 2025 Gala Dinner Sponsor

We are proud to have Bullocks Freightmasters International as our esteemed Gala Dinner Sponsor for INO Summit 2025! A valued member of OPCA since 2018, the Australia-based company has been a key player in the freight forwarding industry, offering specialized project cargo solutions across various sectors, including oil and gas, mining, and modular construction. With a legacy dating back to 1981, they have continually evolved, integrating advanced logistics strategies and hands-on service to ensure seamless cargo handling worldwide. In our exclusive interview with Anthony Paratore, we explored their journey, expertise in project cargo, and the impact of logistics networks on their success.

Could you share the story behind your company’s entry into the freight forwarding industry and how it has evolved over time?

"Established in 1981, Bullocks Freightmasters, a well-regarded name in the freight forwarding industry, has a rich history of growth and evolution.

The company traces its origins back to the early 20th century, beginning as a small transport company. The founder, looking for opportunities in the rapidly expanding logistics sector, made the bold decision to enter the freight forwarding business.

In its early years, Bullocks Freightmasters primarily focused on regional transport and handling smaller, less complex logistics needs. However, as international trade increased and global supply chains became more intricate, the company adapted and expanded its services. By focusing on providing efficient, reliable, and cost-effective solutions, Bullocks Freightmasters gradually evolved to offer comprehensive freight forwarding services that addressed air, sea, and land logistics on a global scale.

Over the years, Bullocks Freightmasters embraced technological innovations and began implementing advanced systems for tracking shipments, optimizing routes, and enhancing customer service. This commitment to staying ahead of the curve has helped them maintain a competitive edge in a rapidly changing industry."

Which project cargo services do you offer, and what distinguishes your company from other project cargo providers in your country?

"We specialize in a range of cargo areas, whether partner charters, aircraft chartering, or even express hotshot road freight for time-critical cargo, such as in the fields of oil and gas, mining, pleasure crafts, modular buildings, all-terrain cranes, and even overseeing the dismantling of disused mine sites as an added service for the client.

We offer a personalized service, positioning our own staff on-site, at the port of loading, discharge, or loading site, or at final delivery to ensure our clients' cargo is handled with the utmost professionalism. Through strategic partnerships, a commitment to service quality, and a dedication to understanding the unique needs of our clients, Bullocks Freightmasters has cemented itself as a trusted player in the freight forwarding world.

Today, the company continues to thrive by offering a wide range of logistics solutions and maintaining a focus on customer satisfaction and operational excellence."

From your perspective, what is the value of being part of a logistics network, and how has your experience with our network contributed to your success?

"Being part of a logistics network is very important to our business, and more importantly, being active and present at yearly AGMs makes the introduction to our partners a more personal relationship. We don’t expect immediate success, but we are here for the long-term journey.

Since joining OPCA, we have handled numerous projects and gained the trust to handle general freight, whether LCL, FCL, or air freight to/from Australia.

We have been impressed with the way OPCA is managed and the communication, whether it ranges from general information to social media recognition of handled projects, new members, and personal milestones achieved. In the current era of social media, this plays an important part in promoting our business and capabilities."

We greatly appreciate Bullocks Freightmasters International for their trust and support. With decades of experience and a commitment to excellence, they continue to set industry standards in freight forwarding and project cargo logistics. We are thrilled to have them as the Gala Dinner Sponsor for INO Summit 2025 and look forward to another successful event together!
