The Optimus Group comprises multiple companies across the globe focussed on premium, end to end automotive solutions.

Founded In 1989, our group commenced exporting cars from Japan to New Zealand, identifying the opportunity to assist buyers wanting to import vehicles by providing logistics and compliance solutions for the expanding used car import market. Over time the Optimus Group has grown and now exports motor vehicles from Japan to Australia and regions beyond.

Our wish in the company name

‘Optimus’ is a Latin word that means best or optimal.

That thirst to deliver the very best experience for our customers is what defines our business. It has led us to create a value chain where what can be a complex series of processes transforms into a streamlined, problem-free experience every step of the way.
