About Us

We care, we innovate, we excel

KHOLD is the largest, specialised fresh produce cold storage operator in South Africa.

Through an innovative attitude and a pioneering spirit we provide unparalleled service excellence to our customers.

KHOLD’s story begins in 2016, with the acquisition and subsequent revitalization of Maydon Wharf Fruit Terminal (MFT) in Durban, offering highly specialised refrigerated warehousing solutions to fruit export industry.

In 2020, KHOLD extended its services to include a frozen food cold store offering. Bayhead Cold Store, Durban’s largest refrigerated warehousing facility, provides temperature-controlled storage ranging from -25 to +10 degrees Celsius, thereby servicing both the frozen food and fresh produce markets.

KHOLD expanded its operation to the Eastern Cape with the opening of a state-of-the-art facility in Coega in 2021. The Coega facility is the first of its kind in the world, combining fruit packing, refrigerated warehousing and container depot facilities, all under one roof.

In addition to our cold chain businesses, KHOLD is offering an innovative supply chain solution: NeXL – a digital Container Transport Platform – is a new business transforming the short-haul container transport industry through the smart application of technology, providing unparalleled levels of visibility and reliability.
