Logistics

Formed by the combination of logistics operations in PPC and Barloworld Automotive during 2002, Barloworld Logistics has grown into one of the leading logistics and supply chain management businesses in southern Africa with complementary operations in Iberia, the United Kingdom, United States of America and the united Arab Emirates, a staff complement of 1 700 and approximately R5 billion annual logistics activity under management.

The combined effects of globalisation and technology have made the logistics industry one of the most exciting and dynamic industries. Technology has enabled the integration of previously independent logistics functions leading to increased productivity and the concept of managing a chain of interrelated logistics activities, ie supply chain management.

Whilst Barloworld Logistics offers traditional logistics services such as transportation, warehousing and freight forwarding, we create unique value for our clients through a more holistic approach to supply chain management and skilful integration of the various logistics components in a typical supply chain. The ultimate benefit for our clients is that we help them deliver better service to their customers at lower cost.
