SHIMZAL has an organizational structure with clear duties and responsibilities of each and every employee, and which clearly defines the responsibilities and authorities of the senior staffs at the management level. The company has more than 240 employees including competent and well-versed professionals in the areas of fleet operations management, maintenance, marketing, finance & accounting and in human resources management.
The highly experienced, reliable and dedicated drivers are the most precious assets of SHIMZAL. SHIMZAL has introduced fleet management software, and all of its organizational units can easily exchange the required data/information via computer networks.
The introduction of such systems enabled our company to have an efficient information management system which is vital in our day-to-day decision making process. SHIMZAL owns a fully equipped and well organized central garage with a well qualified and skilled technical staff rendering effective preventive and curative maintenance services for its fleet. The garage is located on the Addis Ababa-Djibouti main road in less than a kilometer distance from our head quarter office.
Three modern warehouses owned by ROGETCO P.L.C., a sister company, located in the vicinity of the intersection between the Addis Ababa main ring-road and the Addis Ababa-Djibouti mainline, and at a distance of about 300 m. from the Addis Ababa Lagar Customs Warehouses provide an additional competitive advantage for SHIMZAL.
The warehouses have a total covered area of over 5,200 m2 with a storage capacity of approximately 60,000 tones and more than 6,000 m2 extra open space which could be used for truck parking and for open storage services. Montreal Transit Services P.L.C., a sister company, provides fast and efficient transit and customs clearance services mainly to customers of SHIMZAL. The synergy available between SHIMZAL and its sister companies along with its well trained, committed and very caring workforce has enabled SHIMZAL to provide all round and quality services making it the most preferred fleet operator in country.
