Röhlig-Grindrod opens new CT office

Last week saw the official opening of Röhlig- Grindrod’s new offices in Cape Town, merging its air and seafreight operations into one facility. Comprising office space of 1000 sqm and a new warehouse of 1500 sqm, the new building is centrally situated near the Cape Town International Airport in close proximity to the major highways and port. Cape Town branch manager, Danie du Plessis, told FTW the merged operation created better efficiencies by merging some of the functions that were being duplicated. And the Cape Town branch is looking forward to growth. “When we secured the land for this building we also secured the option on the vacant stand next door and we hope to see another 2500 sqm of warehousing added by 2015 at the latest.” Managing director Kuben Reddi said the investment in the new premises was based on the Cape Town office’s track record and continued growth. “Our Cape Town office has shown year-on-year growth despite the tough economic times we have been through,” he said. “Our investment in new premises sets the stage for further growth.” CAPTION Going for growth … CT branch manager Danie du Plessis with MD Kuben Reddi.
