Pronto Clearing was founded by Craig Garrow on 3 March 1988, starting as a one-person operation in the back room of his home with just a small number of clients. Over the past 35+ years, the company has grown steadily and organically into a respected name in the clearing and forwarding industry. This growth has been driven primarily by word-of-mouth referrals, a testament to our commitment to reliable service and strong client relationships.
Prontos’ hands-on approach and dedication to being available, regardless of the size or complexity of the issue, have played a vital role in building and retaining our loyal client base. Our experienced team has successfully navigated a wide range of industry challenges, working tirelessly to ensure smooth operations and minimal disruptions for our clients. This expertise has established us as a trusted and dependable link in South Africa’s supply chain.
Headquartered in Cape Town, Pronto Clearing serves clients nationwide. We handle a diverse array of cargo, with particular expertise in managing marine shipments and oversized or complex loads. While we’ve grown alongside our longstanding clients, we’ve also continued to welcome new ones, maintaining a stable and reliable foundation that ensures we can adapt to evolving needs and challenges in ever moving South African & global environment.
