What makes KAM different from other transport companies?
KAM is a New Zealand family-owned and operated company specialising in supply chain logistics in the primary meat, produce and aquaculture industries across New Zealand.

How does KAM ensure temperature control during transport?

This means that transport and fleet managers can, at any time, quickly change the refrigerated space in a truck or trailer from one which is simply reefer monitored, to one which is fully HACCP compliant controlled.
