Greendoor Group

What Greendoor Group does

Greendoor Group is a privately held, founder-owned cross-border logistics company headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa, specializing in the transport of containerized, break-bulk, and project cargo between Durban port and the Copperbelt region of Zambia and Katanga Province of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Founded in 2006 by Ken Hall and Mike Koch — both veterans of South Africa's transport industry (Hall via Blue Chip Racehorse Carriers / JSE-listed Supertrans; Koch via Highway Carriers / Imperial) — the group operates through three wholly-owned sub-brands: Cargo 2 Congo (project transportation with a 200+ vehicle fleet including super-links, tri-axles, stepdecks, and lowbeds), Ka Go 2 Go (consolidation and express services to Zambia with daily departures and 30+ monthly loads), and Hauloads Zambia Ltd (40+ heavy haulage rigs with a Customs Registered Warehouse in Chingola). A fourth entity, Crossloadings Zambia, operates as a distribution hub and vehicle check-in point on the DRC corridor.

The group's underlying technology stack is centered on a logistics management platform supported by 24/7 satellite vehicle tracking via a third-party control center, with tracking units fitted to both vehicles and trailer combinations. The 100,000 sqm Johannesburg depot (opened 2013) houses over 25,000 sqm of warehousing, a crating and packaging department, workshop and wash-bay facilities, and driver training infrastructure. Specialized capabilities include licensed handling of out-of-gauge cargo, dangerous goods, and explosives (Explosives License and SQAS accreditation), as well as in-house customs and BiVac documentation services across offices in Lusaka, Livingstone, and border posts at Kasumbalesa and Kazungula.

Greendoor generates revenue primarily through transaction-fee per-shipment pricing on cross-border transport, complemented by storage and distribution fees from its warehousing facilities, professional services revenue from customs and documentation handling, and managed-services revenue from 3PL arrangements with mining equipment suppliers operating dedicated Just-in-Time fleets. The company serves enterprise clients almost exclusively — principally blue-chip mining companies and their suppliers in the Copperbelt — through a direct B2B sales model involving tender submissions, dedicated account management, and long-term project-based contracts. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with no publicly disclosed rate cards.
