AN INTRODUCTION TO PINDULO VDM

Starting life in 1976, Pindulo VDM derives from the South African word for ‘problem solvers’, the latter three letters honouring the company’s original name and symbolic of its motto ‘Versatile, Dynamic and Multimodal’. In 2018 the company rebranded to reflect the transformation of its business, which now operates in six clear divisions that each reflect a colour of the South African flag:

Red Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG)

Gold/Yellow Steel and Industry (SI)

Blue Fuel and Chemicals (FC)

Black Mineral Mining Commodities (MMC)

Green Agricultural Commodities (AC)

White/Grey Technical Consulting Services (TCS) Pindulo VDM’s work is based around operational hubs located in Saldanha, Culemborg, Paarden Island, Cape Town Harbour, Worcester, Port Elizabeth, Kimberley, Johannesburg and Witbank. In addition, with more than 400 vehicle combinations at its disposal, the company can provide truly innovative and intelligent logistical solutions, including dry bulk, breakbulk, container and abnormal transport. It also utilises a private haul road from port to intermediate facilities nearby, the fleet consisting of drop sides, side tippers, flatbeds, tautliners and back tippers, with all trailers fitted with air suspension. The firm also owns more than 2,000 containers.
