As it marks 25 years in the country’s logistics industry, global services provider Rhenus South Africa says it has firm plans to increase its footprint across Africa.

“Over the years, Rhenus South Africa has experienced exceptional growth and development. The company has been on an upward trajectory, doubling the number of twenty-foot equivalent units handled in the past ten years.

“Furthermore, it has also significantly expanded its footprint and increased its service offering within Southern Africa,” the company says.

Plans are under way to extend the South African footprint in 2022 with the opening of a new branch in Gauteng.

Additionally, the company’s warehousing space in KwaZulu-Natal will be expanded in the new year.

Further in the future, the Rhenus Group will be looking to expand its African network by 2025 through new partnerships and acquisitions.

Rhenus South Africa began as WACO in Johannesburg in 1996 before rebranding to World Net Logistics in 2002.

In 2020, a new era was launched when it officially became Rhenus Logistics South Africa, after being acquired by the Germany-headquartered Rhenus Group.

Over 140 new positions have been created since 2019, while 160 employees and unemployed youth have been supported with industry relevant learnerships.
