Our Ethiopia operations support the country’s key trading partners with door-to-door solutions.
Ocean freight imports – primarily from the UAE, India, Bahrain, Egypt, and China – serve sectors such as infrastructure, industrial projects, construction materials, and manufacturing.
Air freight imports from the UAE, India, Belgium, and Egypt support the healthcare industry , including pharmaceuticals and medical equipment, as well as telecommunications and industrial manufacturing.
The new Addis Ababa office reflects ISS GF’s continued investment in Ethiopia – bringing us closer to our customers’ businesses, strengthening local operations, and creating a more dependable bridge between global origins and Ethiopia’s inland economy.
