Why We Started IKQ Logistic
Making cobalt and copper logistics from Katanga simple, compliant, and stress-free
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, handle paperwork, ensure ISO compliance, and deliver peace of mind.
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 regulations, speak French/English, and have SA transport connections.
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 meets DRC export requirements and South African import standards. We handle all documentation.
Real Communication
You'll always know where your shipment is and what's happening. We respond fast because we're small and nimble.
