Lagos is the new location


For the first time, the German shipping and logistics expert Harren Group is extending its presence to Africa. The group's first office on the continent just opened its gates in Lagos. Harren Nigeria is led by managing director Paul Okpurughre.

 

“The new office represents the entire Harren Group and serves as a basis for further business development in West Africa,” explains Okpurughre, formerly director business development and operations (MEA) at SAL Heavy Lift.

 

West Africa represents about 30% of Africa’s total population and Nigeria is the continent's largest economy, even ahead of South Africa, the group said.

 

Nils Aden, managing director of the Harren Group, underlines the new market’s potential for the entire group: “There are also new opportunities for business beyond our existing heavy lift activities – for example in the tanker, bulker and renewable energy sectors. The new office will represent our group’s affiliated companies Jumbo-SAL-Alliance, Intermarine, Harren Bulkers, Harren Tankers, Atheleon and Combi Lift as their commercial agent.” (cd)
