IMPERIAL Logistics has acquired a 70% stake in Tulbagh-based Le Grange Transport.
With 51 vehicles capable of moving loads ranging in size from tri-axle to super-interlink, the business has been operating since 1988, serving mainly the Western Cape fruit industry and operating between the Cape Town harbour and Ceres areas.

This acquisition is in line with the Group's strategy to grow its business in the Western Cape container market, said IMPERIAL Cargo managing director Christo Theron.
Le Grange Transport has 100 employees operating out of offices in Tulbagh.
