GAC Strengthens India-South Africa Trade Lane

The GAC Group has streamlined its India-South Africa one-stop logistics service with fast-track customs clearance technology and dedicated, specially-trained staff. In addition, GAC’s global partnership agreement with major carriers ensures that urgent requests can be met quickly, and at fair rates.

The India-South Africa trade lane is growing in importance in various sectors, in particular the oil & gas industry and bulk minerals. GAC has the experience, expertise and resources to provide a wide range of services to help expand that trade – and there are plans to boost that service further.

“There are four GAC Laser offices in South Africa currently, and over the next two years, another three will be added to further expand our South African coverage,” says Simon Hayes, CEO, GAC Laser.

He adds: “With over 26 GAC offices throughout India, this partnership will strengthen the relationship between export and import traders – the key players who are fuelling the massive growth of trade between these two countries.”

This initiative is part of GAC’s long-term plan to expand its global network, and offer first-class integrated shipping and logistic services.

Gracias Thevar, Country Manager, GAC India – Logistics, says: “The GAC Group’s global expansion strategy reflects our commitment to work closely with our customers and offer them unparalleled support. Our aim is to help customers drive their growth by providing cost- saving and time- effective logistics services to support their activities.”
