About Röhlig-Grindrod
Röhlig-Grindrod provides client-specific solutions across industries, supported by a flat and personalised structure that enables close collaboration and clear communication. In South Africa, our operations reflect both our international reach and our strong local presence, with teams located across the country’s key trade hubs. This allows us to offer our customers seamless door-to-door service across all major ports, airports and inland corridors.
Our workforce of over six hundred employees across the wider network is dedicated to meeting the business needs of our customers. In South Africa, we serve a wide range of industries, but have built particular strength in sugar, pharmaceuticals and timber. In the Eastern Cape, our in-house pharmacy personnel ensure the safe and efficient handling of pharmaceutical cargo, maintaining compliance and ensuring timely delivery of essential goods. Within the forestry sector, our dedicated vertical has established us as a leading player in the export market for timber products, ensuring smooth flows of cargo to global destinations.
South Africa’s strategic position, supported by advanced port infrastructure in Durban, Cape Town and Port Elizabeth, allows us to connect the region’s exporters and importers to markets worldwide. Our team’s expertise in managing both ocean and air freight, as well as project and contract logistics, ensures that we can provide tailor-made solutions for even the most complex supply chains.
As a BBBEE Level One certified business, we are proud to reflect the diversity of South Africa in our workforce. We value inclusivity and collaboration, removing language barriers and ensuring effective communication across all levels. This commitment extends beyond compliance — it is a cornerstone of how we build strong partnerships with customers, suppliers and communities.
Over the years, we have cultivated long-standing relationships with many of our clients, who continue to entrust us with their logistics thanks to our hassle-free, reliable service. By combining international standards with local expertise, we provide peace of mind, enabling businesses to focus on growth while we take care of their logistics needs.
At Röhlig-Grindrod South Africa, we strive to be more than a logistics provider. We aim to be a trusted partner and an extension of your business, delivering sustainable value and building long-term success together.
