Bisedge Logistics & Infrastructure has secured a $20 million investment from Metier Private Equity to support the expansion of its electric intralogistics operations across African markets.
The funding will help Bisedge strengthen its position in the intralogistics sector by expanding its fleet of electric material handling equipment and scaling operations throughout Sub-Saharan Africa. The company said demand is rising among businesses seeking outsourced and long-term rental solutions for electric fleets as companies aim to reduce upfront capital expenditure while improving operational efficiency and fleet reliability.
Bisedge operates a “Zero CapEx” model that allows customers to modernize their fleets using electric forklifts, reach trucks, and tractors supplied through its partnership with Linde Material Handling. The approach is designed to lower total ownership costs, improve uptime, and support sustainability goals by helping companies transition away from diesel and gas-powered equipment.
The investment from Metier is expected to enhance Bisedge’s ability to scale these services across key African markets, expanding both its equipment offering and service infrastructure to meet growing customer demand.
Christian Wessels said the partnership will help accelerate the company’s growth while supporting broader sustainability initiatives across Africa’s logistics and warehousing sectors. He noted that the company’s focus extends beyond equipment supply to delivering operational efficiency improvements for customers on a day-to-day basis.
Grant Howarth described Bisedge as a leader in African intralogistics with a scalable business model and significant room for expansion across the continent.
Bisedge currently supports intralogistics operations across Sub-Saharan Africa and the GCC with a workforce of more than 1,250 employees. The company serves as the exclusive partner of Linde Material Handling in markets including Nigeria, Tanzania, Kenya, and South Africa.
The transaction reflects Metier’s broader strategy of investing in high-growth African businesses with strong operational foundations and long-term expansion potential across multiple sectors.
