NTP Logistics diversifies beyond dangerous goods niche

NTP Logistics is set to expand its product portfolio beyond the movement of dangerous goods and Africa is one of its key focus markets. Established in 2008 as the in-house logistics arm of NTP Radioisotopes, the company was established to meet the exacting logistics demands of the nuclear industry. “There’s zero tolerance for any errors in the movement of radio isotopes – and that’s the product we are able to apply to every logistic solution,” managing director Ntokozo Mogorosi told FTW. NTP Logistics’ involvement in Africa has largely been mine-related. “We’ve been mostly involved in Namibia’s uranium mines, bringing samples to South Africa for testing and repatriating those products. “We’re now keen to diversify into the general cargo business and with everyone looking for growth in Africa we believe there’s huge potential.” In Mogorosi’s view, it’s all about understanding the customer’s product and business processes and then developing a logistics solution that suits his particular needs. “There’s never a one-sizefits- all – customisation is key. And with our background in the demanding dangerous goods field, we believe we have a lot to bring to the market.” According to Mogorosi, through the company’s overseas partners, the WCA global network, there have already been several enquiries related to Africa business. “We believe we have the know-how, the network and the track record to make our mark on the African continent,” she said.
