Namibia’s substantial growth is good news for the freight industry, and for companies like Pentagon Freight, it’s a pivotal market, according to the company’s managing director, Kevin Melnick.

"We are seeing extensive growth in Namibia, and it is one of our key markets for current and future growth," said Melnick.

"The majority of that is due to the proactive and accepting stance of the Namibian government towards business opportunities.

"There is also a lot of activity in the oil and gas sectors as well as mining.”With Pentagon Freight primarily focusing on these sectors, as well as renewables and projects, the company has a targeted growth strategy to significantly increase its footprint in Namibia.“
