Carroll’s established itself based on honesty, old-fashioned values and a ‘can-do’ attitude. That philosophy continues and Carroll’s good reputation is underpinned by a 46-year track record of excellent service and competitive prices.

Today, Carroll’s still works with many of their original customers – a testament to their integrity and ability to meet the changing needs of the industry and our customers. Word of mouth has always been their best form of promotion and they are proud of the long-standing client base. What’s more, some of the original staff are still with the company nearly four decades on.

For the past 15 years, Carroll’s has been managed by the founders’ son, Chris Carroll. Under his leadership, the company continues to thrive through a marriage of old-fashioned values and modern technology.

In 2004 Carroll’s relocated to a new purpose-built warehouse and transport facility in Mahunga Drive, just across the Mangere Bridge from the Port of Onehunga and minutes from Auckland International Airport.

June 2015 saw Carroll’s open an additional branch in Albany, Auckland. This facility will see Carroll’s further advance their use of technology operating Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) fork trucks capable of working in 1.7 wide aisles, as opposed to the traditional 3 metre wide aisle. This advancement in efficiency also sees Carroll’s being the first company in New Zealand to operate a fork truck equipped with a semi-automated navigation system.

“When Oilseed Product’s commenced business in 1977, we needed a contractor with warehousing facilities. Due to my previous experience with Tony Carroll and his team, the decision to go with them was automatic... 33 years on, they are still our choice and I can’t speak highly enough of their integrity and efficiency.”
Peter McNamara, Managing Director, OSP Oilseed Products NZ Ltd.

"When we moved from Italy in 1997 we had the good fortune to engage Carroll's Cartage to pick up and deliver a container of personal belongings. We were so impressed with their service that when we imported our first container of kitchens, we had no doubts about using them again.

Italy and Kitchens imports kitchen and bathroom components and accessories from three Italian suppliers. Maximum care is required in the handling of these high quality goods. Some items are large and difficult to manoeuvre so we rely on Carroll's expertise and care to ensure damage free unpacking, storage and delivery.

Often there is urgency to unload the kitchens and Carroll's have on some occasions performed miracles by devanning and delivering within 24 hours. Their friendly and efficient staff have a great 'can do' attitude and they have accepted the many challenges we have thrown their way over the years with enthusiasm.

I regard the support we have had from Carroll's as hugely important to the growth and development of our business. We rely on Carroll's to help Italy and Kitchens 'deliver' in all meanings of the word."
Veryan Del Moro, Managing Director - Italy and Kitchens
