Barloworld celebrates decade in logistics

This week Barloworld Logistics celebrates its 10th anniversary across its international offices. The company is part of a 109 year old South African conglomerate, Barloworld. Over the past decade it has acquired several regional logistics leaders in the Middle East, Far East, Europe and Southern Africa to offer smart supply chain solutions to brands.

"I am feeling great on having walked through the journey, especially the lows of 2008 and 2009. Like any ambitious journey, ten years ago we started out to expand strategically and within a decade's span, we are well positioned in strategic locations to offer the smart supply chain solutions to our existing and potential clients", says Frank Courtney, CEO for Barloworld Logistics.

"The companies we acquired in the respective markets were regional leaders and had been in the market for several decades. The cumulative experience is far greater and we are capable to offer solutions to manage complex supply chains."

Courtney reiterated the company's strategic position: "We are committed to creating extraordinary solutions that exceed expectations and deliver exceptional results. Our strategy is simple. We align our client's supply chains to their business strategy. In other words, we ensure that our clients have the right operations, resources and capabilities to implement their strategies and realise their vision. In looking forward to our next ten years and beyond our overarching goal remains smart logistics and supply chain solutions that deliver on our clients' strategies and objectives."
