Northland Distributors, a trusted supplier to South Australia's takeaway and hospitality industries, is entering an exciting new chapter following a newly established partnership between Craig and Trisca Price and Bonson Packaging, who have recently acquired the business.

Based in Adelaide, Northland Distributors provides packaging solutions to customers throughout metropolitan Adelaide, with weekday deliveries across the metropolitan area and freight services to local depots supporting customers throughout regional South Australia.

The new ownership brings together strong family values, extensive industry experience and a shared commitment to quality, service and meeting the evolving needs of customers.

Craig Price will lead Northland Distributors as General Manager, bringing more than 25 years of experience in the South Australian packaging industry. Craig's extensive industry knowledge, combined with his strong focus on quality, sustainable products and customer service, will ensure Northland continues to deliver the products and personal service customers have come to rely on.

Joining Craig is Trisca Price as Business Manager. While new to the packaging industry, Trisca brings more than 30 years of experience across business management and finance. Her commercial experience will complement Craig's industry knowledge and support the continued growth and development of Northland.

An important part of the partnership is the strong alignment between Craig and Trisca's vision for Northland Distributors and Bonson's own history and values. Bonson remains a family-owned and operated packaging business, established by the Tsui family in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1984. More than four decades later, family values, long-term relationships and personal service remain central to the way Bonson does business.

"What attracted us to Northland was the strength of its customer relationships and its reputation for personal, reliable service," said David Tsui, CEO, Bonson. "Bonson is also a family-owned business, and we understand the importance of relationships, continuity and earning customers' trust over the long term. We are not looking to change what makes Northland successful. Our role is to support Craig, Trisca and the Northland team as they continue to serve their customers and build the business for the future."

Customers and suppliers can be reassured that it is business as usual at Northland. The transition to the new ownership will be seamless, with customers continuing to receive the products, service and personal attention they have come to know and trust. Northland will continue to operate under its existing name, with Craig and Trisca leading the business locally in Adelaide.

"We are incredibly excited about the opportunity to build on the strong foundations of Northland," said Craig Price, General Manager of Northland Distributors. "The most important message for our customers and suppliers is that Northland will continue to be the relationship-focused, service-driven business they know. Trisca and I will be here running the business day to day, and our customers and suppliers will continue dealing with the wider Northland team."

With experienced leadership, strong family values and the backing of a like-minded family business, Northland is well positioned for its next stage of growth while remaining committed to the customers and communities it has proudly served.
