Africa Logistics Network is the Best Freight Forwarder Network in the World Operating (Also) in Africa.
The award for the best network operating in Africa was presented during the ceremony of the second edition of the Africa Supply Chain Awards, held in Dakar, Senegal, last Saturday, October 12, 2024, in the ballroom of the King Fahd Palace Hotel.
To be eligible for the award, a network had to have at least 10 members in Africa and have been in operation for at least 5 years. ALN celebrates its 10th anniversary this year and counts 82 members in Africa out of 220 worldwide, qualifying it as the network with the largest coverage of the African continent.
The awards were promoted under the high patronage of the President of the Republic of Senegal, His Excellency Bassirou Diomaye Diakhare Faye, by the ALM group, which also publishes the independent magazine Africa Supply Chain Magazine.
The Award was collected during the evening by the Senegal-based members of Africa Logistics Network: Integral Logistix, CVL International, and 2HL, who were joined by representatives from Socodam and Groupe Imana, the members from the Democratic Republic of Congo and Ivory Coast, respectively.
"This is a great recognition for ALN," commented Marcello Saponaro, Chairman of Africa Logistics Network. "The vision of my father Alessandro, who founded a network that finally was looking at Africa with its growing network of small and medium-sized professional and high-quality companies, has proven to be a winning choice and has brought a change to the entire world of networks. Being still the leader after 10 years is something we are truly proud of."
"We will celebrate," added Marcello Saponaro, "during our 10th annual meeting next November in Bangkok" ALN's meetings are held annually, alternating between Africa and one of the other continents. The Africa Logistics Network meeting will return to Africa in 2025.
