We were honoured to have the presence and contributions of our Group CEO, Mr. Gerrit Van Der Merwe, whose insights and leadership continue to inspire us all. The event’s success was a testament to the collaborative spirit that defines our group, showcasing the collective effort of every participant.

This year’s meeting focused on crafting our future by discussing strategies, setting goals, and engaging in meaningful dialogue about the path forward. Through a series of thematic sessions, workshops, open discussions, and even fun games, this created an ambiance filled with memorable moments, laughter, and, admittedly, a bit of pain as some challenges proved tough. Yet, it was the prevailing team spirit and a competitive yet fun mindset that carried us through to the end.

The different themes explored during the meeting, coupled with interactive workshops and open discussions, allowed us to dive deep into the complexities and opportunities within our industry. The inclusion of fun games helped break the ice, foster teamwork, and create an atmosphere where ideas could flow freely, ensuring that every moment was not only educational but also enjoyable.

As we reflect on the success of this gathering, we were reminded of the power of unity and shared vision. The discussions we had and the goals we have set pave the way for a future where we not only meet the challenges of the logistics industry but also redefine its standards.

This meeting was a reminder of what we can achieve together, and it’s with great anticipation that we look forward to the road ahead.

Recently, OMA Group expanded its African footprint by inaugurating operations in Namibia with the acquisition of one of the oldest Logistics and Shipping companies in Walvis Bay.

“This strategic move, driven by our existing customer base demand for services in Namibia, is underscored by our dedication to fostering growth and enhancing our service portfolio in Africa, with a one-stop-shop for existing and future customers, in various industries, at the highest service standards. We will also be looking at expanding our footprint within Namibia by opening offices in Windhoek and Lüderitz to meet customers’ requirements, ” said Gerrit van der Merwe, Group CEO of the OMA Group of Companies.

Our Walvis Bay establishment is not merely a new office, but a confluence of seasoned professionals following the acquisition. With a team of ten, we collectively bring together an impressive 120 years of industry expertise, averaging 15 years per individual. This depth of experience is pivotal as we offer a comprehensive range of services, encompassing general logistics, freight forwarding, ships agency, offshore oil & gas logistics support, and customs clearance brokerage, at the highest standard demanded by our customers.

The addition of a 650sqm dedicated warehouse, bonded and unbonded, and an open laydown area of 1,600sqm further demonstrates our commitment to delivering efficient and streamlined solutions to our clientele.

Under the leadership of Jacques Oosthuizen, the newly appointed General Manager with 10+ years’ experience in Shipping and Logistics in Namibia, we are confident that our customers will be very satisfied with our service offerings in Namibia.

As OMA Group Namibia charts its course in this new territory, we remain steadfast in our mission to uphold the highest standards of service excellence and corporate integrity.
