The Project Professionals Group (PPG) and pan African freight forwarding group, African Cargo & Logistics Alliance (ACLA), have announced an informal strategic alliance.
Headquartered in Lagos, Nigeria, ACLA is represented in 53 African countries. PPG has 125 member offices in 89 countries.
PPG general manager Kevin Stephens said his network offers a global supply chain management footprint, while ACLA focuses on building a continent of Africa membership structure.
"Both organisations have agreed to an alliance that is designed to support new business growth and cross-branding and promotion arising from combining a strong regional network throughout Africa with the world's largest network of international project cargo specialists," said Stephens.
The agreement allows ACLA and PPG members to approach each other for assistance. ACLA members in countries where PPG currently has no representation can join PPG, and PPG African members can join the ACLA network, cross-branding and conference networking activities.
