Built on the road since 1998.
From one founder with a plan to a fleet of 120+ vehicles serving the country's biggest FMCG and retail names.
The Master Cargo story
Master Cargo was founded by Lionel van Rensburg and started operations in 1998. Today the company runs a fleet of over 100 vehicles serving multiple sectors across South Africa and its neighbouring countries.
Through the consolidation of all prior experience, the result is a smooth-running, competitive and service-orientated transport logistics provider, one that blue-chip customers have trusted for more than 24 years.
Our head office sits in the Durbanville Hills valley in the Western Cape, with satellite depots in Gqeberha and Johannesburg keeping the network close to every major distribution corridor.
Our vision
To be the leading logistics service provider to the temperature-controlled, retail and fast-moving consumer goods market in South Africa, with passion, integrity and energy.
Our mission is to empower our people to grow the business with us and to maintain our excellent service levels to our most valued clients and partners.
