In post-war 1950, Joe Calleja left Malta and came to Australia for a new life for his family. Based in Melbourne he purchased the first truck of the future Calleja fleet. He worked long days as a subcontractor carting scrap metal for industrial clients in Melbourne.
After arranging for his family to join him the business slowly expanded as his sons progressively joined the family business. Calleja Transport officially formed in 1971, operating from the family home in Ascot Vale.
The operation moved to larger premises in Brooklyn in 1975, then to the present head office site in Altona North.
Today the fleet comprises over 130 specialised waste transport vehicles including large capacity tippers, hook lift and roll on/roll off vehicles. There is also a huge fleet of earth moving vehicles including dozers, excavators, fork lifts etc. supporting the many aspects of the operations of material handling, recycling, landfilling and mining.
