Always First for Service

Bascik Transport was established in 1970 by Mervin and Pauline Bascik as a local Christchurch transport provider.

This was a period where the freight industry was heavily regulated. Once the regulations were slowly lifted, we built a network over many years to service the needs of our growing market.

From the year 2000, Tony Bascik, son of Mervin and Pauline, took over as Managing Director and continued to grow the family business. During this period, there has been a continued strategy of growing the network and services in an ever-changing transport environment.

Bascik Transport is now the leading service provider of freight into the South Island. This service standard has been replicated to build a National network.

At Basciks, we pride ourselves on our motto, which is what the whole team lives and operates by.
