South African multinational fresh fruit producer, Capespan, has announced the formation of The Logistics Group (TLG), an integrated logistics service provider.
Capespan has increasingly invested in its logistics operation over the past four years. The company will now be divided into two separately managed businesses – fruit produce and logistics.
Fruit will however still remain the core commodity for TLG.
“The logistics business in TLG will continue to be managed by Capespan’s current logistics management team, led by retiring CEO Dawie Ferreira, who will be handing over to incumbent CEO Anton Potgieter over the next six months,” said Tonie Fuchs, managing director of Capespan Group.
TLG will include large-scale port and warehousing operations in the ports of Cape Town, Durban and Port Elizabeth.
Its service offering will also extend to cross-country warehousing and loading terminals for bulk minerals and agricultural cargo, as well as cross-border and warehousing operations in Mozambique.
