Six years since its launch, CMV Logistics is set to grow its footprint in Africa. “Currently we focus on road haulage to Malawi, but can assist with cargo to other SADC regions,” CMV Logistics’ Mark Naidoo told FTW. According to Naidoo, the company has three to five vehicles leaving Johannesburg for Malawi every week. “Our transit time for the route is five to seven days from date of despatch.” With the staff ’s 40 years of combined experience in the industry, its service portfolio goes far beyond the numbers on a rate schedule, says Naidoo. “No matter how large or small a freight shipment is, we can manage the entire logistics process – creating tailor-made, flexible and cost-effective solutions for our clients wanting to outsource their clearing and forwarding needs. “Helping to address individual needs – like up-todate shipping information and other distribution services – we have an independent transport unit that takes care of inland transfer of goods and containers for our customers.” The company handles and distributes full loads and groupage cargo – both containerised and breakbulk – and its prime focus is the export market. “We have recorded some growth over the past year,” says Naidoo, “but the financial markets are down which means there has been less buying power for SA exports.”
