Two years ago, Paniel Meat Processing spun out its logistics department into a standalone logistics company, TRUK, serving other food/ag companies in Rwanda.
Two years later, they are not just moving food around Rwanda, but all across Eastern Africa, from Kampala in Uganda to Nairobi and Mombasa in Kenya, out to the port of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania along with Arusha, Dodoma, Mbeya, and Songara. TRUK also serves the Eastern part of DRC and the north half of Burundi. And if that weren’t impressive enough, customers are shipping products to Lusaka in Zambia, Harare in Zimbabwe, and exporting through the port of Mabuto in Mozambique.
Overlaying all those pickup and dropoff cities on a map, and TRUK is not only living up to its name (Tanzania Rwanda Uganda Kenya), but proving out the high demand for professional food logistics services across all of Eastern Africa.
UPDATE: December 2022
TRUK Rwanda appreciates how quickly you listened and responded to our issue.
Thanks to Africa Eats for the loan and loan provided to insure that our customers are satisfied. Normally we had customers who we’re looking for 40 feet refrigerated containers as they know that we specialised in cold chain transportation we spent a lot of cash to hire trucks which can carry these containers, now we have started serving our clients with our own trucks this has created a big recognition and reputation to our customers and the sector in general.
UPDATE: December 2023
The fleet has grown to 19 trucks and revenues for 2023 surpassed $6 million. This makes TRUK Rwanda the fastest growing company of in the whole Africa Eats portfolio on multiple measures. Fastest ever to reach the $1 million annual revenue milestone (3 years). Fastest ever to surpass $5 million (less than 4 years). 300% Y/Y growth last year.
This opportunity is far from saturated.
