Founder and CEO Ms Alessandra Valenza began her logistics career managing rail consignments into the DRC’s mining regions. In 1997, she founded VS Cargo to specialise in rail and road logistics to and from the DRC. Her foresight led to the creation of Zambia’s first bonded transit facility in Ndola, positioning VS Cargo as a market pioneer in cross-border logistics.
