Ziegler South Africa is an innovative and dynamic company, that is a member of the Ziegler Group who was founded in 1908 with headquarters in Brussels.
Our expertise in the transportation of specific products (aeronautics, fashion, wine and spirits, renewables, bikes, fairs & exhibitions, dangerous goods, project cargo) and our steadfastness acquired over more than a century of activity makes us a well-known and recognised player in the market. We have opted for locations at multiple sites, which makes it possible to offer a local service, with great responsiveness and flexibility.
With over 3,200 employees worldwide, Ziegler operates a close-knit global network with some 154 branches in more than 15 countries. In a further 80 countries it cooperates closely with partner companies.
Unlike large global transport groups that operate with an aim for industrialisation, the Ziegler Group has always committed itself to remain at a human scale and family-run business. This gives us a flexibility that allows us to offer tailor-made services as needed.
Ziegler introduces a four-week, assessment-based externship that provides cross-divisional training, giving learners a practical understanding of operations, inter-department collaboration, and customer impact before entering the formal learnership programme.
Another pillar in Ziegler’s make up and foundation is to promote the provisions of the Black Economic Empowerment Act in South Africa, and we can proudly say that we are a level 2 BEE company with a clear vision of empowerment, skills development and socio economic development.
Ziegler’s culture embraces a “Think Global, Act Local” mindset, fostering innovation, entrepreneurial thinking, and ethical values to deliver agile, customer-focused solutions in South Africa’s evolving market.
