TRUSTED BY ETHIOPIA’S EXPORT & IMPORT LEADERS.
From the coffee highlands of Sidama and Yirgacheffe to international garment export lines in Bole Lemi, here is how our multimodal logistics infrastructure delivers tangible corridor performance.
"During peak harvest season, securing reefer containers and keeping transit time to the Port of Djibouti under 48 hours is critical to prevent bean moisture deterioration. Horizon Logistics delivered over 140 containers for our cooperative with zero transit delays and full digital humidity logging."
"We run strict just-in-time manufacturing for global European fashion brands. Raw fabric imports from Asia cannot wait at the port, and export garments have non-negotiable air charter departures. Horizon’s AEO customs status and bonded warehouse next to our factory make them indispensable."
"Transporting temperature-critical oncology medicines and pediatric vaccines from Bole International cargo terminal to regional cold rooms across Ethiopia requires absolute integrity. Horizon’s GDP-certified reefer fleet with satellite temperature alerts has maintained a 100% compliant track record."
"Moving five 72-ton substation transformers and oversized wind turbine blades from Djibouti across mountainous Ethiopian terrain was an immense challenge. Horizon’s project engineering team conducted bridge surveys, obtained police escorts, and executed the heavy haulage safely without a scratch."
