Asserting its Africa commitment

The opening of the new Bertling South Africa logistics centre in Kempton Park is testament to the impact the international company has had in Africa. Speaking at the official launch of the newly built premises in Bredell in Kempton Park, Marc Schweiger, Bertling regional director sub-Saharan Africa and managing director South Africa, said much more was on the cards with a Cape Town office set to open in the next few weeks as well. “The new centre shows our commitment not just to South Africa but Africa – we see a future for business and investment in the continent,” Schweiger told FTW. “Africa is an area that we want to develop more. Bertling has always had a footprint on the continent, especially in the mining industry. As an export destination it is big, but in recent times we have also grown our import market.”
