The North Group, directed by Patrick North recently purchased MD Freighting alongside Auckland based company Fluidex Transport Ltd.
New owners for MD Freighting By Celeste Lodewyk The North Group, headed by local businessman Patrick North last year expanded its operations after purchasing MD Freighting, based in Riverlands. The purchase was made alongside Auckland based company Fluidex Transport Ltd. The North Group now owns the general freight business, land and buildings while Fluidex has taken over the mussel freight and container
lifting side of the business. Patrick said after searching for an opportunity to expand the North Group’s current freight business, the sale of MD Freighting presented a great opportunity. “MD Freighting is a great addition to our existing Chiller Transport business and we plan to operate both freighting businesses from the Riverlands site later this year,” he said. MD Freighting will continue to operate under its name.
