Mining

Mining operations across Africa face unique logistical challenges:

remote sites, volatile conditions, limited infrastructure and complex customs procedures. 

Since 1974, we’ve built a reputation for overcoming these obstacles with tailored solutions and strong local partnerships. Our offices across 24 African countries give us the on-the-ground presence to act fast and deliver reliably, wherever your site is located.

Exports with
impact

Africa’s mining exports – raw and refined – continue to grow at pace. We are there to support that growth with export-ready services, deep knowledge of mineral logistics, and infrastructure investments that reflect our long-term commitment to the region. Whether you’re moving bulk volumes or high-value metals, we handle every shipment with care and compliance.

Your partner
for performance

Downtime costs money. So when a vital part fails, speed matters. We respond quickly, manage every detail and deliver where and when it counts. From critical components to full plant relocations, our goal is to keep your operations running safely, securely and sustainably.

Inventing better
ways forward

Fracht-Polytra doesn’t just deliver cargo. We help build Africa’s future. By investing in local teams, roundtrip track solutions and smarter IT, we create long-term value for governments, partners and clients alike. Our actions match our ambition, because in mining logistics, there’s no room for halfway.
