We handle anything
We handle a wide range of goods; from marine, agricultural, and horticultural products to manufactured food and nutraceuticals, both in the export sector and for domestic and import markets.
Traceable and accountable
We accomplish our goals by being flexible and offering an extensive skill set. We have developed a strong strategic position in the export sector with good skills in inventory control, compliance and traceability that serve our customers well. CSN has balanced its business to deal with the various seasonal fluctuations to ensure asset utilisation is high.
A key part of our growth strategy is our involvement with port-related locations, both in Tauranga and Nelson.
We believe the client comes first, and therefore our inventory management system has been developed specifically to serve the needs of exporters. Our customers and their agents can access their inventory data in real time and can trace individual cartons of product through the system.
Eco-friendly and efficient
We have made major advances in reducing energy requirements by using advanced process control and design to ensure minimal usage and sophisticated purchasing of energy.
CSN was a Commended EECA Energy Efficiency Awards Finalist in 2014.
We offer the support you need
The company has supporting transport and can handle containers in and out of the Nelson stores using side-lifter trailers and transportation between Mt Maunganui and the Port of Tauranga.
Our main store in Tauranga is inside the Port and uses a top lifter to deliver packed containers to the port receiving areas.
