Driving
Growth
through investment,
innovation and impact
Our growth strategy is focused, long-term and grounded in Africa’s real needs. We are expanding across key trade corridors, investing in modern infrastructure, and increasing fleet availability to meet rising demand for reliable freight services.
With support from strategic shareholders, we have committed significant capital to rolling stock and infrastructure, enabling private sector participation in national rail networks. We continue to grow our presence in countries like Zambia and the DRC, where our solutions are helping to connect regions and unlock new economic opportunities.
Our Rosslyn Rail Services Hub has become a centre of excellence for locomotive rebuilds and fleet modernisation. By extending asset life, improving reliability, and reducing cost, we help operators scale without over reliance on imported units.
Alongside technical growth, we are building skills. Our accredited training programmes support a pipeline of local talent ready to maintain and manage Africa’s rail future.
