Logistics company on the expansion path

Crane Worldwide Logistics, which established an office in Johannesburg two years ago, has its sights set on future expansion when the time is right said the company’s regional vice-president for Europe, Middle East and Africa, Gerard Ryan. “The South African office, established as a hub into the rest of Africa, has exceeded our expectations in terms of revenue and customer growth,” said Ryan. The company, which has strong logistics contracts in the mining and oil and gas sectors, is seeing growth in other industries as well, having just landed a major high-tech industry contract. “We’re building on our core capabilities, using our global experience to expand our customer base in sectors such as manufacturing and energy,” said Ryan, adding that the latter offered “lots of logistics opportunities” in Africa. Crane Worldwide South Africa has the edge in targeting the energy sector as it has the back-up of the company’s extensive expertise, he said.
