The African continent is a high growth region for the packaging industry and South Africa has significant investments in this sector. Driven by high demand for consumer products, improvement in personal incomes and the growth of emerging markets, this sector is attracting new opportunities and investment.

The industry requires urgent spare part movements and a well managed raw material supply chain. There is also the project management of the movement of entire plants/line including specialised handling and transportation. Swift WL has positioned itself well in this sector and currently handles the freight forwarding and customs clearing needs of some of the market leaders as well as companies that are suppliers to this sector.
