The company has become Toitū carbon reduce certified, a commitment that is reflected in the design and operations of its new facilities. With the assistance of Toitū, Bascik accurately measures its greenhouse gas emissions and has put in place strategies to manage and reduce impacts. The company’s partnership with KiwiRail is another cornerstone of its sustainability efforts. Bascik Transport is one of the largest users of KiwiRail for transporting goods from Auckland to the South Island, a strategy that significantly reduces carbon emissions and diesel consumption. “Rail transport’s ability to move large quantities of goods with fewer emissions and less road congestion aligns seamlessly with our vision of eco-conscious logistics.” Bascik Transport is also promoting bulk freighting to its clients, encouraging them to reduce the frequency of smaller shipments in favour of larger, less frequent consignments. Owain says this approach not only reduces the carbon footprint associated with transportation but also improves overall logistics efficiency. Founded in 1970 Bascik Transport has become a name synonymous with efficiency, reliability and sustainability, solidifying its position as a trailblazer in the logistics and transportation industry. Founded by Mervin Bascik, the company initially commenced operations with a single truck, catering to Christchurch’s metropolitan deliveries. Since then, Bascik Transport has expanded its reach, establishing its presence in key locations across New Zealand’s South Island. Under the leadership of Mervin’s son, Tony Bascik, the present managing director, the company’s fleet has grown exponentially Owain says the new Nelson facility is an indication of the company’s commitment to growth, efficiency, and sustainability. With its state-of-the-art infrastructure and strategic location, the facility is set to play a crucial role in Bascik’s ongoing success story. “We have a good reputation from customer feedback and we are always gaining new work and we anticipate this continuing. At Bascik Transport we’re always looking at what we can do next.” “Because we have the space now, the efficiency we’ve seen is incredible. We are gaining an hour a day due to efficiencies from the new layout of the new site. This boost in productivity is expected to translate into better service for our clients.” PROTECTING YOUR FAMILY AND PROPERTY FIRE PROTECTION IQP INSPECTIONS BUILDING WOF Nelson: 03 548 2640 office@ffpnelson.co.nz ffpnelson.co.nz Proudly installing Fire Protection on another project with Bascik Transport & Calder Stewart Commercial Interiors Commercial Interiors Built To Inspire. www.corva.co.nz P: 03 544 7048 E: INFO@IFCSTEEL.CO.NZ W: IFCSTEEL.CO.NZ A: 128 MAIN RD HOPE, RICHMOND 7020 NZ Formerly ET Engineering
