Unitrans demonstrates commitment to continent with a growing footprint and suite of services

Leading supply chain and operational services group Unitrans is continuing its expansion across the African continent, with a strategic intent to grow its operations and services.

Since its inception six decades ago, Unitrans has established a meaningful and far-reaching presence in sub-Saharan countries spanning South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Lesotho, Eswatini, Mozambique, Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, Mauritius, and Madagascar.

With a reputation for reliability, efficiency, and excellence, Unitrans is committed to delivering high-quality services, adapted to meet the diverse needs of its clients. The company's CEO, Terry Bantock, attributes its success to a focus on customer-centricity and a commitment to its employees' development and safety. "Our ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality services has resulted in an increasing demand for our services, leading to a continuous growth in operations," says Bantock.

With a team of highly skilled professionals and a deep understanding of its targeted sectors and local markets, Unitrans is well positioned to capitalise on the growing demand for logistics and supply chain solutions across the continent.

"Africa is a land of great commercial opportunities for those with a bold vision, a willingness to invest, and a relentless drive to find the right way. With an increasing number of people and abundant resources that have yet to be fully utilised, Africa presents a unique opportunity for businesses looking to expand their operations and tap into new markets," continues Bantock.

"At Unitrans, we believe in the power of doing," he says. "This has seen us deliver innovative and sustainable logistics and supply chain solutions on the continent, positively impacting the region's economic and social development".

Commitment to driving innovation and excellence

According to Bantock, the company is involved in several sectors, delivering specialised solutions to industries such as mining, agriculture, petrochemicals, food and consumer goods, industrial goods and people transportation.

"At Unitrans, we pride ourselves on taking a strong partnership approach to deliver customised, end-to-end logistics solutions to our customersregardless of their industry. With many years of hands-on experience and expertise, we offer market-leading specialised fleets and cutting-edge technologies and management solutions."

He says the commitment to driving innovation and excellence, delivering tailored solutions to meet customers' unique needs, remains the company's driving force. However, the company's success is only partially attributed to customer commitment.

According to Bantock, Unitrans also places a high priority on its employees, ensuring that they are valued and understood as individuals. The company was certified as a "Top Employer" in South Africa by the Top Employers Institute (TEI) in January this year, a testament to its commitment to its employees.

Bantock credits the hard work and dedication of the company's employees for its ongoing growth, as they often go above and beyond their duties to ensure customer satisfaction.

He says another priority at Unitrans is that of a safe operating environment. To this end, the company employs the most advanced safety technology and maintains the highest safety standards to reduce incidents and accidents. As a registered training provider with the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA), the company ensures its drivers undergo rigorous training through its learning and development programmes. This commitment to training and development optimises successful service delivery and road safety.

"Ultimately, it is about driving efficiencies, reducing costs and increasing productivity for our clients. With a focus on collaboration and customercentricity, we aim to be a true partner in our customers' success, delivering value beyond logistics services," concludes Bantock.
