As global challenges continue to ripple through the logistics sector, the mining industry is experiencing a heightened awareness of the critical importance of timely deliveries, cost-effectiveness, urgency, and overall logistics requirements.

Companies in the sector are waking up to the significance of efficient project management in mitigating delays and enhancing productivity.

According to Tiago Pocinho, country manager of Rangel South Africa and Zambia, with the mining industry increasingly realising the importance of streamlined logistics and considering the sector's role as a cornerstone in the global economy, the company is continuing to grow its mining footprint.

“Through implementing a comprehensive strategy, we plan to double our turnover in the mining unit by 2024,” he told Freight News.

“Anticipating future demand, we are directing greater investments towards expanding our fleet and venturing into new SADC countries, positioning ourselves for success in emerging markets and ensuring a robust growth trajectory.”
