The company was founded in 1963 by Mr. Ganes Pillay who grew the company from a single unit to a current fleet complement of over 180 vehicles.
Acquisitions of new tankers together with a strong focus on staff development, training and safety gave birth to the company’s Tanker Division.
The company is a family-owned and managed business, with its head office based in Jacobs, Durban with branches in Epping, Cape Town and in Boksburg, Johannesburg. Together with a team of experienced and well-trained drivers and a fleet of distinctive vehicles, Gantrans is known for its commitment and reliability. Strong family values, integrity and transparency remain the corner stones of the Gantrans ethos. Customer satisfaction and cutting edge road transport technology are the driving forces of the organization.
We endeavor to implement an all integrated and user-friendly contemporary system to promote HSE at the workplace and where ever else our industry and social obligations may lead us.
We acknowledge that apartheid has left behind a legacy of inequality. Transition to democracy requires change. Gantrans’ policy is to identify and remove discrimination in employment policies and practices.
To maximize the potential of our employees through the acquisition of knowledge and skills; to work productively and competitively; to set in place an operational plan to achieve this.
We recognize that, through past practices, that the South African economy is characterized by a concentration of economic wealth and inequalities in employment, education and skills.
