Toll Global Forwarding is born

There’s a new name on the SA logistics scene. March 1 saw a change of name for BALtrans Clover Cargo which has become Toll Global Forwarding following the Toll Group’s takeover of The BALtrans Logistics Group. While the name is new, key personnel and partners remain the same. Under the continued leadership of Vincent Magnus and its other local shareholders, Geoff Partridge and Brian Wicht, the company will continue building on two decades of service to South African clients. Moreover, many companies in the worldwide network have been partners since the inception of Clover Cargo 20 years ago. “We are enthusiastic about the changes because they will ensure that clients’ future needs are catered for,” says Vincent Magnus, chief executive of Toll Global Forwarding SA. “Clients can look forward to a more comprehensive portfolio of logistics products and supply-chain solutions to address their requirements. “With new markets developing, demand is growing for a wider, comprehensive international network with IT capabilities fully supported by local skills, knowledge, expertise and coverage,” said Magnus. “The Toll Global Forwarding business model strengthens our ability to deliver customised supply-chain solutions anywhere in the world.” Magnus believes that Toll Global Forwarding has the comprehensive global footprint, business and financial resources and economies of scale to help them stay ahead of the game.
