CEVA has acquired a controlling shareholding in the Belgian third-party logistics provider which has more than 100 years of expertise in East and Southern Africa.

From 1 July, the AMI Worldwide office network in 12 countries in East and Southern Africa and its almost 1,000 employees will join the CEVA global network.

Simultaneously, it claims to be able to link its customers to its strong global network alongside its best-in-class services and unmatched expertise.
