Ziegler pumps up warehousing capacity

Global logistics provider Ziegler South Africa will soon move its Gauteng operations to larger premises to offer additional warehousing facilities in Johannesburg. “We will also use this strategically for cargo going up north via our Beitbridge office,” said Ziegler SA chief operations officer, Paul Lawrence. Gauteng is still the most important hub for cargo moving north over border and is generally more cost effective, he added. “Gauteng is the economic powerhouse of South Africa, with the majority of large companies and decisionmakers based in Gauteng. It therefore remains the most important region for us in terms of sales and signing up of new clients, as well as servicing our existing client base.”
