Africa Global Logistics (AGL) Cameroon commissioned new equipment worth over 2 billion FCFA on March 26, 2026, in Douala. This significant investment includes around twenty forklifts, a dozen tanker trucks and semi-trailers, as well as a state-of-the-art 100-tonne crane.
The main objective of this investment is to improve the performance of AGL Cameroon's port, logistics, industrial, and distribution activities. The company aims to increase its productivity, reduce operational delays, and improve the quality of its services across various market segments. The new tanker trucks and semi-trailers will be used for the urban and regional transport of goods, including malt and wheat destined for Boissons du Cameroun and Mocaf in Central Africa. This acquisition aims to secure deliveries, improve customer service, and minimize the risk of breakdowns and delays.
The forklifts, on the other hand, will be deployed for the rapid handling of cotton and other goods in specialized warehouses. They will optimize productivity, reduce congestion, and improve the fluidity of stuffing, bagging, and storage operations. The new 100-tonne crane is specifically designed for heavy industrial and oil and gas operations. With a main boom of 60 meters, extendable up to 85 meters, it can lift up to 30 tonnes at a distance of 10 meters.
According to AGL, this crane will allow the local execution of operations that previously required external resources, thus strengthening the company's position in industrial and oil projects in Cameroon. Thibaut Lamé, Managing Director of AGL Cameroon, emphasized that this investment is part of a broader strategy, with a budget of 20 billion FCFA planned for 2026. The overall objective is to increase competitiveness, productivity, and improve customer experience.
AGL Cameroon aims to strengthen its industrial and logistics tools, in a context where the quality of port services and the control of logistics costs are key factors for competitiveness.
