ver 40 percent of African industry relies on petroleum. Fortunately, Strauss Logistics (Strauss) has specialised in transporting bulk fuel, gas, and general cargo across Southern Africa since 2011. From humble beginnings, operating out of a Zuva Petroleum depot in the Zimbabwean capital of Harare, Strauss’ current premises span approximately seven hectares, comprising workshops, wash bays, fleet parking, stores and offices. “Strauss celebrated 10 years of operation in May, and we are proud of our achievements in that time,” begins COO of Strauss Logistics, Adrian Smuts. “In those early days of rapid growth, investment was rightly focused on building our asset capacity in order to provide for our customers.”
