- Imperial Logistics Limited (IHLDY), a subsidiary of DP World Limited, provides integrated freight management, contract logistics, and market access solutions primarily in Africa, with operations extending to Europe, the Middle East, China, and India. The company offers comprehensive services including road, rail, air, ocean, and river freight transportation; warehousing, distribution, and synchronization management; route-to-market strategies integrating sourcing, sales, distribution, and marketing; and specialized solutions for fast-moving consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, and temperature-controlled shipments. It serves key industries such as healthcare, consumer packaged goods, automotive, chemicals and energy, industrial, commodities, manufacturing, mining, and agriculture, with a focus on challenging and high-growth markets where African logistics account for over 40% of sales. Founded in 1946 and headquartered in Bedfordview, South Africa, the company, formerly Imperial Holdings Limited, changed its name to Imperial Logistics Limited in December 2018 to reflect its core logistics focus. In recent developments, Imperial Logistics was acquired by DP World in March 2022, enabling expanded network integration, technological enhancements, and broader supply chain capabilities across new markets and customer segments.
