The
business comprises of warehouses situated in 5 towns in the
Eastern and South Western Cape, namely
East London
Port Elizabeth
George
Queenstown

All the depots are either owned or leased by Tiger Brands –
Grains Logistics.
The current
operation consists of bulk shipments into the depots from the
supplying production facilities and onward break bulk transport
to customers by the Company.
Each depot is
staffed by a Warehouse Controller and support staff . All staff
have proven experience in various aspects of warehouse and
distribution administration and operation.
Each depot has a
fleet of trucks allocated according to the product and customer
needs, i.e. retail chains and urban independent stores in the
cities to rural wholesalers and independent retailers in the
country towns.
In all depots, the
drivers are remunerated on performance subject to the provisions
of the National Bargaining Council for the Road Freight
Industry. This has been found to be highly effective in
achieving quick vehicle turn around and high vehicle
utilization.
A fully equipped vehicle workshop is
situated in East London where the trained staff carry out
mechanical and body repairs to the vehicles.
