Alistair Group

Asset-based logistics provider delivering Africa-wide solutions

Overview

The company differentiates itself from competitors by owning and operating its asset base and delivering integrated, hands-on logistics services with a strong emphasis on execution discipline, rather than outsourcing to multiple third parties.
