Group is repositioning itself to focus on industrial equipment and services, and consumer industries. 11:01 Open: Analysts are uncertain about the prospects for JSE-listed Barloworld under its new strategy. Barloworld is set to exit its automotive and logistics businesses as it aims to sustainably double its intrinsic value every four years and position the group as an industrial processing, distribution and services company with two focus areas: Industrial equipment and services, and Consumer industries focusing on food and ingredient solutions. Barloworld CEO Dominic Sewela said at the groupâs most recent financial results presentation late last year the acquisition of Tongaat Hulett Starch and the expansion of its Russian equipment business with the acquisition of Wagner Asia Equipment in Mongolia anchors the group clearly in terms of industrial capital distribution goods and related services, and also anchors it very clearly in terms of the food and ingredient businesses.
