OUR HISTORY

Established in 1995 by Sakkie Liebenberg, LiebenLogistics has grown from an enterprise with only one vehicle, into one of the blue-chip leaders in the industry. Today we boast a fleet of more than 600+ vehicles, and service clients throughout South Africa, as well as in some of its neighbouring countries.

In 2012, LiebenLogistics acquired the majority shareholding in GLS Supply Chain Equipment. The company focuses on the design, manufacturing and management of supply chain equipment such as hypercages, rolltainers, tote boxes and the like – returnable packaging solutions and equipment used to store and move products through varying supply chains.

In 2012 these companies combined forces to create the formidable LiebenGroup.

In September 2018, LiebenGroup acquired the majority stake in Baleka Distributors, which subsequently changed its name to Baleka Freight. Baleka augments the service offering of the LiebenGroup with additional truck configurations, simple and flexible on-demand solutions, and consolidated load services.

In 2019, LiebenGroup formed part of Supergroup. Supergroup is a leading transport logistics and mobility group, headquartered in South Africa. Supergroup was founded in 1986 and has been a JSE listed company since 1996. Supergroup includes supply chain, dealerships and fleet solutions businesses, which offers a comprehensive range of services.

In July 2021, MzansiGO was added to the group. MzansiGO provides logistics and delivery solutions to both enterprise and non-enterprise clients. This includes on-demand logistics, fixed deliveries, storage and micro warehousing, vehicle rental and API integration.

The latest addition to the LiebenGroup include RSC Dynamic Supply Chain Management and CleanTech 360 in February 2023.
