Mercator Transport sets up office in Uganda
LAVAL, QC, April 12 /CNW Telbec/ - Mercator Transport Group Corporation ("Mercator Transport") (TSX-V: GMT) is proud to announce that following the creation of a joint venture targeting the East African market and the inauguration of an office in Kenya, it is moving ahead with the implementation of its development strategy in Africa, setting up a new office in Kampala, Uganda.
The operations of the Ugandan subsidiary will be closely related to those of its recently created Kenyan sister. Those two subsidiaries will thus create synergies, allowing Mercator Transport to provide services more efficiently to the continent's interior.
Created in the context of the Mercator East Africa Inc. joint venture, this new establishment allows Mercator Transport to become the sole Canadian logistics specialist present in Uganda.
Let us remind the reader that Mercator East Africa Inc., a joint venture in which Mercator Transport holds a majority interest and through which it teamed up with its African partners, was created in December 2009 for the purposes of developing the East African market.
