Johan Bergwerff, a native of the Netherlands, has over 20 years of experience leading the business unit as head of supply chain and logistics at Emirates Logistics’ parent company, Sharaf Group. Johan has overseen the expansion of Emirates Logistics to provide full supply chain services, including last-mile delivery, e-commerce, land transportation, freight forwarding, 3PL logistics, breakbulk cargoes, and custom brokerage services.
In this capacity, he directs and manages the business’s operations across eight different countries. Through Johan’s efforts, the company has strategically established itself in the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, allowing for growth and expansion into new markets that complement the expansion goals of its clients. Emirates Logistics is currently present throughout the world, including in Kenya, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Malaysia, Egypt, and Pakistan.
Because Johan is a strong environmentalist, the organization has made sustainability and the environment top priorities in its business plan. From electric vehicles for transportation to energy-saving measures in the offices and solar panels installed in the warehouses. He thinks logistics can be handled sustainably and environmentally while still benefiting all stakeholders.
