Facts worth knowing about the South African locations

BLG Logistics of South Africa (Pty) Ltd. started as a small outfit in 2001. Initially, the focus was on the Eastern Cape region. Unlike other large national companies which are based in Johannesburg (Gauteng), the company chose Port Elizabeth for its headquarters. This proved to be a smart decision because BLG Logistics of South Africa (Pty) Ltd. was contracted to handle customs clearance for one of the largest automobile manufacturers in the Eastern Cape region. In line with the BLG LOGISTICS strategy, more branches were opened in all the important South African cities, i.e. Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, East London, Durban, Johannesburg and Pretoria.
