Streamlining Supply Chains and Boosting Intra-African Trade
Africa Global Logistics (AGL), a leading provider of comprehensive logistics solutions recently announced its official launch in Kenya. This exciting change reflects the company’s evolution and unwavering commitment to fostering intra-African trade and tapping into the region’s burgeoning markets.
AGL brings its expertise and innovative approach to the Kenyan market, aiming to streamline supply chains and empower businesses to thrive in the continent’s dynamic economic landscape.
«By investing in a world-class logistics network, we unlock Africa's immense potential, MSC’s acquisition highlights the long-term commitment of the company to invest in Africa’s supply chains and infrastructure, supporting the needs of our clients on the continent.» Philippe Labonne, President AGL Group
Intra-African trade remains a significant challenge for the continent, with complex regulations and underdeveloped infrastructure hindering the free flow of goods. As part of the MSC Group, AGL aims to contribute to the sustainable development of Africa and emerging markets. This focus on sustainability aligns with many African nations’ growing environmental initiatives.
Africa’s economic transformation hinges on a robust and efficient logistics sector. Fragmented supply chains and complex regulations often hinder growth, leading to increased costs and delayed deliveries.
«AGL's Kenyan launch signifies its commitment to being a long-term partner in Africa's growth story. The company plans to create local jobs, foster partnerships with local businesses, and promote Intra Africa Trade» Jason Reynard, Regional Managing Director – East Africa
AGL holds the distinction of being the first integrated company to utilize rail transport in the country, demonstrating their commitment to sustainable and efficient logistics. Their success in managing complex projects like the Lake Turkana Wind Power further underscores their expertise.
