Zalawi, which is now fully integrated into the Africa Global Logistics (AGL) group in Namibia, has officially commenced operations in the bustling port city of Walvis Bay. This launch is marked by the introduction of a fleet of brand-new, state-of-the-art trucks designed to meet the highest industry standards.
We are thrilled to announce this significant strategic milestone, which greatly enhances the value of our logistics services across the Southern African region. This expansion not only broadens our operational footprint in key markets but also strengthens our ongoing commitment to delivering efficient, reliable, and forward-looking transport solutions. Benjamin Stenning, Managing Director of Zalawi Group in Namibia, expressed his enthusiasm for this development in a recent LinkedIn post.
Strategic Benefits for Our Customers:
– Strengthened Corridor Capabilities: Zalawi’s advanced fleet significantly improves our end-to-end logistics along the critical Walvis Bay Corridor, which connects inland markets like Zambia and Botswana to essential global trade routes. This strategic linkage facilitates smoother trade operations and reduces transit times.
– Enhanced Customer Experience: By maintaining direct control over our road transport operations, we can achieve greater coordination in logistics processes, resulting in fewer handovers and higher service quality. This leads to a more seamless experience for our customers, enabling them to meet their supply chain demands more effectively.
– Increased Reliability: Our new, cutting-edge trucks work in concert with our established AGL infrastructure, which consists of a network of well-maintained storage facilities and efficient routing systems. As a result, customers can rely on unmatched consistency and predictability in delivery schedules.
– Boost to Namibia’s Economy: This substantial investment not only creates local employment opportunities but also expands the country’s trade capacity. By enhancing logistics services, we are actively contributing to the national and regional economic development, supporting various industries in the process.
– Environmental Responsibility: Our selection of fuel-efficient vehicles is part of our commitment to sustainability. These trucks significantly reduce carbon emissions and are designed to support eco-friendly logistics practices throughout the supply chain, aligning with global environmental goals.
This expansion is a key component of AGL’s larger vision to position Namibia as a premier logistics hub for Southern Africa. With Zalawi operating from Walvis Bay under the AGL umbrella, we are bolstering the strength, scale, and agility necessary to effectively support both importers and exporters in this dynamic region.
