This is major news for Guinea’s business environment. On May 18, 2026, CEVA Logistics — one of the world’s leading logistics companies — officially announced the opening of its new agency in Conakry. As Guinea’s economy accelerates, securing supply chains has become a strategic necessity for local businesses.
In business, even the best products lose value if they arrive late or if transportation costs destroy profit margins. Until now, many Guinean SMEs struggled with fragmented and inefficient logistics systems.
A fully integrated solution: from foreign factories to your warehouse in Conakry
To strengthen its position in West Africa, CEVA Logistics — part of the powerful CMA CGM Group — has chosen to establish operations directly in Guinea, as well as in Gabon and Congo.
The objective of the new Conakry office is clear: manage both air and maritime freight flows for local businesses through an integrated end-to-end logistics model.
In practical terms, the company combines international shipping and air freight services with local ground transportation — including trucks and rail networks — to ensure delivery to the final destination.
Supporting Guinea’s economic boom
This expansion is no coincidence. With massive mining and industrial projects currently underway in Guinea — particularly the Simandou mega-project — demand for heavy logistics and freight infrastructure is rapidly increasing.
Since 2020, CEVA has significantly expanded across Africa, notably through the integration of major logistics networks such as Bolloré Logistics and GEFCO.
As explained by Mathieu Friedberg, logistics is a key lever for strengthening regional integration and building efficient transport corridors.
By establishing itself in Conakry, CEVA Logistics aims to facilitate both intra-African and international trade flows, helping Guinean entrepreneurs become far more competitive in regional and global markets.
