Our Story

Neolink was founded by Sean Crook and Christopher Makhoul in 2017. At Neolink’s inception, the founders identified a significant gap in the Australian logistics and supply chain industry. Importers and exporters were crying out for a partner that could support them through the tumultuous world of shipping. Bolstered with leading technology and customer service, Neolink was the solution to optimising our clients international supply chains & shipping processes.

Other countries around the world were starting to embrace digital technology to improve processes and customer experience, however the Australian market was lagging behind. As a result, the pair set out to create a business that could introduce new and emerging technologies into the more traditional modes of supply chain processes, plugging the niche between the latest digital technology offering and pairing this with traditional close-knit relationships.

Fast forward to today and Neolink is one of the fastest growing companies in Australia, backed by our new age digital supply chain technology and amazing people. Neolink now provides a range of global logistics services to and from more than 800 cities and 200 countries around the world.

With the support and loyalty of our fantastic customers, Neolink finished #39 on the prestigious AFR Fast Starters and #10 on the Smart50 lists for 2021. However, the award we are most proud of is our Great Places to Work® certification and being the only privately held Global Freight Forwarder in Australia to obtain this in 2021.

Delivering the most efficient global supply chains possible.

What We Do

A new age for global supply chains

Global logistics and supply chains have never been so vulnerable. According to Mckinsey & MIT Research (2021), early adopters of new shipment technologies and real-time data sharing can reduce logistics costs by up to 15% and increase service levels to their own customers by 65% in comparison to companies that don't use these technologies.

Our goal is simple: to provide importers and exporters with these new age supply chain technologies to help them gain a competitive edge.
