AGL (AFRICA GLOBAL LOGISTICS,) at the heart of Africa’s transformation
Bolloré Africa Logistics unveiled its new brand on March 30, 2023. The company will now operate under the name: AGL, standing for Africa Global Logistics.
With this new brand, AGL affirms its ambition within the MSC Group to continue to contribute to the sustainable transformation of Africa and emerging markets, thanks to its global, customized, and innovative logistics solution. As the reference multimodal logistics operator (port, logistics, maritime and rail) in Africa, AGL has the ambition to participate in the transformation of Africa by providing customised logistics solutions, improving the connectivity of territories, and contributing to the establishment of a virtuous logistics ecosystem for all its stakeholders.
Provider of integrated logistics solutions
AGL, which has been present on the continent for more than a century, will continue to provide its local and international customers with a competitive integrated logistics network. To this end, it will improve the productivity of the terminals it operates to better serve all of its
customers. AGL will develop multimodal logistics solutions (rail, road, air, river) to meet the expectations of its customers and meet the challenges of logistics.

A contributor to sustainable and inclusive growth in Africa
With its 21,000 employees in 49 countries, AGL will deploys a development strategy that includes both the men and the women of the continent. AGL will continue to promote African talents and the SME ecosystem by unlocking the potential of young African talent.
