Efficient Logistics Solutions

Your trusted Logistics Partner for over 4 decades

The Logistics Group, a leader in Southern African logistics, was established in 2019 following the unbundling of the logistics division from Capespan Group. Based on a legacy in South African ports that dates from the 1980’s, we have continued to build and grow our footprint.

In April 2022, we took a big step forward by joining forces with African Infrastructure Investment Managers (AIIM) and the Mokobela-Shataki Consortium in a major deal that highlighted our growth and commitment to empowerment.
