Our TEAM OF COMPANIES
Navigate the world with SACO in South Africa, your dedicated, neutral, multi-modal freight partner focused on prioritising your shipping needs. Since our journey began in 1991, formally known as CFR Freight, we’ve charted a course of remarkable growth. We launched our airfreight division in 2001 and introduced ZACPAK (Container Freight Station) in 2010. By 2012, we had expanded our reach to the Indian Ocean Islands. Our voyage continued in 2022 with the acquisition of a majority share in Metro Minds, a distinguished training provider in South Africa.
We are a founding member of the WorldWide Alliance, an association of the world’s leading neutral NVOCC. We are also a member of the AirCargoGroup, a global organisation of neutral Airfreight wholesalers. We offer extensive global coverage through strong partnerships with leading neutral NVOCCs worldwide.
