On 27 February 2019, Barloworld Group announced a strategic decision to merge their Automotive and Logistics Divisions, a move that will leverage the assets and capabilities of the two divisions. The new change brings about the opportunity to strengthen the Group's core capabilities while optimising their existing portfolio to ensure sustained value creation.
The new integrated Division will be led by Kamogelo Mmutlana, the Chief executive officer of the Logistics Division. Mmutlana’s leadership style, performance in turning around the Logistics Division and senior business executive experience in Industrial, Automotive and Food Services, amongst others, made him a stand-out candidate to anchor the integrated Division and its focus to drive intergroup synergies and provide integrated solutions offerings.
