Our Story

SILA Global has been operating since 2010 as a leading logistics company with an outstanding reputation for providing innovative solutions. Recognised as an Australian Trusted Trader (ATT), SILA Global operates worldwide, providing a door-to-door logistics service for Steel Products, Chemical Hazardous & Non-Hazardous, ISO Tank Containers, FMCG, Project & Heavy-lift cargo, and much more.   

We rebranded to SILA Global (previously SI Logistics Australia) in December 2018 to better reflect our worldwide operations and recent international expansion into New Zealand. The rebrand also coincides with the launch of our world-class software, SV3, which is transforming the logistics industry. This technology enables SILA to offer our clients agility, visibility, optimisation, collaboration and prosperity.
