Founded by two Kiwi brothers, the catalyst for BISON was a smart scale system that the Fahey brothers developed to help shippers adapt to the IMO's new container weight verification rules. In the following years, they have continued to innovate and provide solutions to problems that shippers and logistics providers face.

With BISON's range of container lifting and weighing systems, you get independence and control over your container logistics, and a return on investment through lower operating costs, better asset utilisation and improved safety.
