Why We Started IKQ Logistic
Making cobalt and copper moves from Katanga simple—whether your corridor is South Africa, Dar es Salaam, or regional—with ISO quality and compliant PPE when you need them
Why We Started IKQ Logistic
Mining companies in Katanga faced an impossible choice: Pay premium prices to international logistics firms who don't understand DRC, or use local transporters who lack compliance.
We created a third option in 2025: Katanga-based coordination + international compliance standards. We don't own trucks—we coordinate vetted partners across key corridors (including South Africa and Dar es Salaam), handle paperwork, support ISO quality and compliant PPE supply, and give you clear tracking and documentation.
What We Do & Why It Works
We Coordinate (Not Own)
You tell us what to ship. We find the best vetted transport, handle permits, ensure ISO compliance, and track everything. Your logistics department in Katanga.
Local + Compliant
Based in Katanga (not Jo'burg or Brussels). We understand DRC export rules, speak French/English, and work with vetted capacity into South Africa and Tanzania/Dar es Salaam.
Startup Advantage
Faster, more flexible, more affordable than big logistics firms—without compromising quality or compliance.
Our Promises to You
Complete Transparency
No hidden fees. No surprises. We tell you exactly what we'll do, when, and how much it costs.
Full Compliance
Every shipment is built around DRC export requirements and your destination rules—South Africa, Tanzania/Dar es Salaam, or regional. We handle the documentation stack.
Real Communication
You'll always know where your shipment is and what's happening. We respond fast because we're small and nimble.
