Our History

Founded in 1997, Neptune Pacific Line became part of The Wonderful Company—one of the largest and most philanthropic privately held companies in the United States in 2007. The Wonderful Company is a USD $6 billion global company committed to providing high-quality, healthy brands and helping improve the lives of the people who live and work in the places where it operates. Its iconic brands include FIJI Water, POM Wonderful, Wonderful Pistachios, Wonderful Halos, Wonderful Seedless Lemons, Teleflora, and JUSTIN and Landmark wines. Headquartered in Los Angeles, with major operations in California’s Central Valley and Fiji, its 10,000-person workforce is deeply passionate about building a better world. 

In 2014, Neptune Pacific Line acquired 50% controlling interest in Pacific Forum Line, which was a joint venture with the Samoan government and Polynesian Shipping Line designed to extend its shipping network. Then in 2020, Neptune Pacific Line acquired its largest regional competitor, Pacific Direct Line, and became an end-to-end logistics solution provider to support the full supply chain of customers throughout the South Pacific. When Neptune Pacific Line and Pacific Direct Line became NPDL in 2021, it brought together two of the South Pacific’s top shipping and logistics companies, building on NPDL’s broader growth and expansion strategy.
