Kaleido Logistics Expands Footprint in Africa

By Simon West

Spain-based Kaleido Logistics has strengthened its presence in Africa after opening new facilities in Namibia, adding to its existing regional hubs in Angola and Mozambique.

The site in Walvis Bay features offices and a 5,000-square-meter logistics center that offers integrated logistics solutions for the import and export of bulk, containerized and oversized cargo. The facility forms part of Kaleido’s expansion strategy in southern Africa, it said, and strengthens the logistics corridors that connect Namibia, Angola and Mozambique with the inland countries of Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana.

“This expansion is based on the establishment of offices in key ports and cities, with local teams, its own infrastructure and machinery, railway initiatives, and full coordination with the rest of the group's offices in Asia, America and Europe,” the operator said in a statement.

Kaleido launched its first base in Angola two decades. The offices at Namibe were followed by the opening of additional sites in Lubango and the port of Lobito. The three locations have a combined warehousing capacity of 160,000 square meters, handling more than three million tons in the last few years, the company said.

Kaleido’s Mozambique base was launched in the port city of Beira in 2023.

“Kaleido Africa’s team is made up of more than 60 local professionals, whose knowledge of the market and experience guarantee an efficient operation adapted to the regional needs. The main services provided are based on the different road transport contracts, and regular maritime shipments in containers, in bulk, and project cargo or oversized cargo.”

To date, the company has invested close to 5 million euros between all its different locations across Africa, it said.

Kaleido Logistics will be exhibiting at Breakbulk Europe 2025.
