Chinese logistics company weaves fine web in Africa

CJ Smart Cargo invests heavily to establish an integrated network

Capitalizing on the growing presence of Chinese engineering companies in Africa over the past five years, CJ Smart Cargo Group has grown from a fledging shipping agency that got its start in Qingdao, Shandong province, into a global logistics enterprise weaving its own network on the African continent.

The company, after years of experience working in more than 20 countries on the continent, has been increasing its investment in delivery trucks, local drivers and distribution centers in African countries such as Tanzania, Zimbabwe and South Africa.
