How they work
DGL Group is an Australian-incorporated, ASX-listed chemicals and logistics group operating in Australia and New Zealand. It combines chemical manufacturing and formulation, warehousing and transport, and environmental services. The group has grown through acquisitions, while its FY2026 report emphasises integration and improved operating performance.
DGL combines acquired chemical and logistics capabilities across an integrated operating group. Its current reporting prioritises utilisation, margins and earnings from the existing asset base, following a period of acquisitions and integration.
- Founder ownership
- Founder and CEO Simon Henry is shown holding 155,650,000 ordinary shares in the FY2026 directors’ interests table. No percentage is inferred from this holding.
- Sector focus
- Specialty chemical manufacture and formulation, storage and transport of dangerous goods, and environmental recycling and waste processing.
- Majority or minority
- The FY2026 consolidated-entity schedule reports 100% ownership of its listed subsidiaries; this is observed ownership, not a published rule excluding minority transactions.
- Geography
- Australia and New Zealand are the core operating markets. Australian incorporation is verified in the FY2026 consolidated-entity statement; the group also has a New Zealand operating and management history. Registered-office addresses are not treated as proof of headquarters.
- Ownership
- Integrated strategic group spanning chemical manufacturing, logistics and environmental operations.
- Capital model
- Australian-incorporated ASX-listed operating company using its corporate balance sheet rather than a disclosed private-equity fund.
- Platform or bolt-on
- Prior acquisitions added capabilities to the integrated chemicals platform. FY2026 and FY2027 commentary prioritises consolidation and performance of the existing group; a new acquisition programme is not presumed.
