FAW Trucks Southern Africa commemorates the significant handover of an FAW truck tractor and tipper fleet to BlackMagic Logistics Solutions through the FAW Isando branch.
This pivotal deal enhances BlackMagic’s current operations by securing the transport of goods from rail siding to the warehouse of their Gqeberha Business unit.
BlackMagic Logistics Solutions (BMG) is a renowned pit-to-port handling and hauling company, providing yellow equipment and road haul services to both internal and external customers. With operations spanning from Gqeberha to the Northern Cape, Vanderbijlpark, Saldanha and Gezina in Pretoria, BMG is a key player in the logistics sector.
The partnership between FAW Trucks Isando and BMG was forged through a series of discussions and assessment of product-to-service fit. BMG was particularly impressed with the level of support, assistance and guidance from the FAW Isando sales team, as well as the warm welcome, accommodation and transparency demonstrated at the Gqeberha-based manufacturing plant. This laid the foundation for a strong and collaborative relationship.
BMG’s fleet operates across several key regions, and the addition of FAW trucks to their fleet is a testament to the trust and confidence they have in the FAW Southern African product range, as well as the brand endorsement and support of the Isando team.
For businesses considering the purchase of FAW trucks, BMG’s message is clear: FAW trucks are cost-effectively equipped with first in class tech and spec uncomplicated and make commercial business sense for both emerging and established enterprises.
