A PREMIUM STORAGE AND DISTRIBUTION CENTRE FOR WEST AFRICA
A sound understanding of the African continent and the challenges faced by many of their clients’ operations in West Africa led to Afrilog creating what is known today as the African Logistics Platform.
The platform is every supplier’s answer to having an in-country presence in West Africa – bringing suppliers and their products closer to their clients and thereby, reinforcing the capacity of the supply chain.
Situated on the border of Senegal and Mali, the African Logistics Platform is a premium storage and distribution facility for suppliers and manufacturers within the mining and heavy industries and affiliates.
