Barloworld Logistics has expanded its service offering into multi-temperature food logistics through its 100% acquisition of KLL Distributors.
KLL is a multi-temperature secondary storage and distribution provider in South Africa, mainly serving the convenience sector and top-end retailers. “This acquisition is in line with our strategy of servicing a growing market need for multi-temperature, multi-product, multi-principal and multi-drop network solutions,” says Steve Ford, CEO Barloworld Logistics.
KLL’s three managing partners, Gustaf Oschman, Lizette Brooks and Stephen Herbert will remain in the business and will form part of its management team. Gavin Wilson, an executive at Barloworld Logistics, has been appointed to lead this division. Wilson has over 30 years’ experience in the industry and will spearhead its integration into Barloworld Logistics.
