RECENTLY acquired by MSC, Bollore Africa Logistics (BAL), a multimodal logistics operator in Africa, has been rebranded as AGL, which stands for Africa Global Logistics, reports Container News.
MSC completed the acquisition of the operator in December 2022 and after three months has decided to change its brand. AGL will operate as an independent entity and is part of the cargo division at MSC.
With an important logistics footprint in Africa, from warehousing and cold storage to other logistics solutions, AGL is expected to support MSC and all other shipping lines with productive maritime container terminals, as well as efficient multipurpose terminals and rail operations.
"This new brand reinforces our ambition to be a trusted logistics partner for our customers in Africa and around the world while underlining our commitment to innovate and participate alongside Africa's states and partners in the transformation of the continent," stated Phillipe Labonne, president of AGL.
AGL operates over 250 logistics and cargo companies, as well as 22 port and train concessions, 66 dry ports, and two river terminals, while it also employs 21,000 people across 49 countries.
