History
Built on a horse-and-cart coal hauling business begun in 1888 by Albert Toll, the Toll business was purchased by National Minerals in 1959. It became part of mining conglomerate Peko Wallsend in 1962. Under Peko Wallsend, which used Toll for all its transport activities, Toll was developed into a national carrier. The company subsequently underwent a name change to Toll-Chadwick, and its new owners sought to integrate its businesses and expand into containerised shipping. Having gone public in 1993, the company was acquired by Japan Post Holdings in 2015.
Brian Kruger retired as managing director in 2016, and was replaced by Michael Byrne. The "Toll Transformation Program" began in 2017.
