Norden går efter øget vækst i Vestafrika

I næste måned åbner Norden et ny kontor i Abidjan i Elfenbenskysten. Målet er at fordoble omsætningen til og fra det afrikanske kontinent. Kontoret ledes af Henning Fotland, der tidligere har arbejdet for Western Bulk.

”Ved at åbne et kontor i Afrika er vi nu til stede på alle relevante kontinenter”, siger Jan Rindbo, CEO i Norden til Tradewinds.

Norden har været aktiv på det afrikanske marked i mange år, og står allerede i dag for transport af mere end 2 millioner tons. Det er denne mængde det er planen at fordoble frem mod 2021.

“Det er en meget kraftig befolkningsudvikling i Afrika. Det åbner store forretnings muligheder, men rummer også et ansvar for at sikre en bæredygtig udvikling, hvor der er arbejde og en fremtid for alle”, siger Jan Rindbo.

”At være tilstede lokalt gør det lettere at tiltrække nye forretninger fra Middelhavsområdet og Fjernøsten, samt at få del i den løbende eksport”.

Befolkningstallet i Afrika ventes fordoblet inden 2050.
