Descriptiontext

Afrigistics, operating legally as AGX International, is a South African international logistics provider founded in 2009 and headquartered in Paarl, Western Cape. The company delivers end-to-end freight forwarding, customs clearing, and supply chain solutions across road, air, and sea transport modes, organized around five integrated service lines: supply chain management, freight forwarding & clearing, import/export solutions, local & cross-border solutions, and multi-modal road/air/sea transport. It serves enterprise customers primarily in retail, food and beverage, agriculture/fresh produce, and manufacturing (e.g., Studio 88, Van Loveren, Hungry Lion, Tru-Cape, Capespan, Retailability), and is Level 2 BEE (Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment) compliant.

The business model is asset-light and transaction-fee based: revenue is generated through service fees on freight forwarding, clearing, and supply chain engagements, with pricing quoted on request rather than published. Service delivery relies on a network of handpicked agents across Africa and internationally, supplemented by what the company describes as industry-leading systems and strategic partnerships. The go-to-market is sales-led, executed through direct engagement, phone/email contact, and a quote request form on the AGX International website. The company operates as part of the City Logistics group of companies and has 11-50 employees; it has no disclosed funding rounds, no proprietary technology platform, no patents or trademarks, and no publicly disclosed leadership team. In 2025 the company rebranded from Afrigistics to AGX International, repositioning itself from an African specialist to a full-scale international logistics provider.
