about us
Our History
SOGECO positions itself as a pioneer in comprehensive logistics services in Mauritania. Founded in 1972 with the initial goal of modernizing the management of ships and cargo at the port of Nouakchott, our company has evolved to become a sophisticated international service provider, offering a wide range of facilities and expertise.
Since 2004, SOGECO has been an integral part of the Africa Global Logistics group, one of the leading global transport networks and the undisputed specialist in transport in Africa. Leveraging our strategically located warehouses and two operational agencies at Nouakchott Airport and the ports of Nouakchott-Nouadhibou and Ndiago, our company positions itself as a catalyst for relevant and innovative logistics solutions in Mauritania.
At SOGECO, we are committed to exceeding expectations in logistics services, leveraging our expertise, robust infrastructure, and dedication to innovation. We take pride in playing a key role in the ongoing development of the logistics sector in Mauritania and actively contributing to the economic growth of the region.
“SOGECO, as the leading logistics operator in West Africa, plays an important role in the ports of Nouadhibou and Ndiago, providing vital support to Nouakchott’s activity.
The strategic positioning of the Ndiago port, just 10 km from the Gas Hub (GTA), makes it an attractive solution for flows to the hinterland, particularly Mali. Our port infrastructure thus contributes significantly to efficiently facilitating trade in the region.”
