Customer Focus

Since 1973, AUSTREX has been forging an international reputation as a supplier of quality livestock with a focus on exceeding customers expectations and building long-term business relationships based on absolute integrity.  Additionally, AUSTREX is in a unique position in being able to offer our customers post delivery technical and management expertise ensuring a sustainable long term, mutually rewarding business relationship. With recent events worldwide relating to food safety and animal welfare, consumers are progressively demanding more detailed, verifiable information and background on the products they purchase. The trading environment is changing, and Livestock Exporters, as a link in the global food supply chain must move forward in meeting this challenge. AUSTREX understands, manages, and leads the Australian Live Export Industry in this challenge

AUSTREX is continually developing quality supply chain alliances with targeted producers capable of supplying livestock consistently to specification, from a controlled supply source.

AUSTREX has a highly qualified and experienced team focused on satisfying our customer requirements through the efficient procuring, assembling, health testing, quarantining, loading and shipping of livestock. This process is underpinned not only by established quality systems such as our internal Quality Assurance Program for every consignment and AUSTREX’s commitment to the Australian “Livestock Export Accreditation Program” (L.E.A.P.), but also through close communication and the provision of technical and management expertise. The successful and sustainable performance of our customers is critical for our long-term business relationship.
