our story

Since 1910 we have steadily climbed in reputation and ability. Our pioneering spirit from the early seventies which saw us at the forefront of containerisation in South Africa, is still very much part of our culture. We made smart investments in assets that further enhanced our offering and diversified the business into providing freight solutions from point of origin to final destination.
