All 1,300 employees of the acquisitions have joined the Ceva Logistics global network with the objective of offering customers a seamless network, facilitating cargo movement within Africa and strengthening trade ties with the rest of the world.

The expanded African network maintains its close relationship with Ceva’s parent company, the CMA CGM Group, which has a historically strong continental presence in Africa.
