Rangel Logistics Solutions received the "International Business of the Year" award awarded by the Portuguese Chamber of Commerce of South Africa, last Saturday, November 5.
The Business Excellence Awards, which took place at the Houghton Hotel in Johannesburg, aim to recognise, celebrate and showcase Portuguese and Luso-South African business leaders, entrepreneurs and professionals operating in South Africa. The ceremony was attended by Manuel Carvalho, Portuguese Ambassador to South Africa, as well as all the nominees and winners.
“It is with great honour that Rangel receives this award, which is also a recognition of all the effort and dedication that the team has had in the last two years. We intend to explore opportunities in the South African market and we are committed to grow our business in several specific sectors, such as the mining sector and fast-moving consumer goods/general consumer goods,” said Tiago Pocinho, Country Manager of Rangel Logistics South Africa & Zambia.
