Royal Wolf’s Reliability Speaks Volumes For Geofabrics
The Project
Royal Wolf supplied Geofabrics with a large volume of storage containers, ensuring they were available at short notice and could be hired, transported, and returned across multiple locations.
Summary
Geofabrics, Australia’s largest geosynthetic products manufacturer with operations across landfill, mining, infrastructure, retail, and waste management, requires hundreds of storage containers to manage their widespread operations efficiently. At one point, 65 containers were sent to Melbourne while they still needed more to meet ongoing demand. To support this, Royal Wolf provided the large volume of containers they needed, delivering them quickly and reliably across multiple locations to ensure Geofabrics’ operations continued without disruption.
Challenge
Geofabrics needed a very large number of containers that could be delivered quickly, stored for extended periods, and returned or relocated to different locations as required, all while ensuring reliability and minimal disruption to their operations.
Solution
According to Monica, Geofabrics has a long-standing relationship with Royal Wolf.
“We use their containers to transport products for landfills in Melbourne, for instance,” says Monica. “We store the stock on site in containers until it’s required – sometimes that can be for three months. We’re then able to de-hire in Melbourne, as Royal Wolf have locations everywhere and can reallocate the containers. We don’t need to send them back and that really helps us.”
She adds: “We’ve never had any issues. I know I can always rely on them.”

Outcome
“I’ve only had great experiences with Royal Wolf,” says Monica. “They make really good suggestions on how I might do things differently.
“Throughout COVID, the supply of containers has continued as normal. And when they haven’t had the size of containers we needed in stock, they’ve gone out and bought the boxes for us to hire.
“They just make it happen. And that’s what you really want from your supplier.”
