Responsive Logistics For Africa

CEVA Logistics’ expansion in Africa is part of our strategic plan in becoming a leading continent-wide logistics player. Our customers and prospects will be provided with unrivaled logistics services and solutions within the continent and beyond, designed by our dedicated supply chain experts.

Our strategic expansion across the African continent began in June 2020, with a majority stake in AMI and Manica and the network throughout East and Southern Africa.

We followed this by integrating three CMA CGM inland service facilities (CCIS) in Mali, Burkina Faso and the Ivory Coast and four new CEVA Logistics operations in Mauritania, Senegal, Benin and Cameroon. IBA Freight Forwarders partnership with CEVA Logistics strengthens our presence in Egypt. With IBA providing knowledge and understanding of the region's transport and logistics industry's challenges, we will provide our customers with the best possible services. Within Ethiopia, we have a new joint venture with MACCFA, and in Morocco, we completed the take over of ASTI, which concluded our current expansion plans in Africa and helped us to continue our ambition to become a leading player across the continent.

Together, you will find us operating out of 80 offices and creating an integrated network across 43 countries. Connecting our in-country expertise, we will build and design reliable supply chain solutions that you can trust, adhering to strict compliance protocols and delivering operational excellence every day. Moreover, we connect Africa with our experts across 160 worldwide locations through our global network. Together, our logistics experts work with our customers to strategically build their supply chain and unlock value and sustainability.
