Asyad Group has a vision to reach the top 10 global integrated logistics service providers—and a clear mission to propel the development of Oman as a logistics hub while contributing to economic growth. Recent investments and developments across its ports, logistics, and shipping segments show it means business when it comes to reaching those targets.
The group recently announced the acquisition of UAE-based global freight forwarding company Skybridge Freight Solutions (SFS), its first international acquisition in its core logistics segment.
Asyad told Seatrade that the investment in SFS expanded the group’s reach into the heart of global trade, enhancing its footprint in major economies including China, India, the US, and the GCC. Adding active operations in key cargo origins will boost the group’s offerings to international companies looking for comprehensive GCC logistics solutions under an integrated entity, it added.
“SFS is a fast-growing company that boasts a strong financial footing and caters to a diverse array of major industries, making it an ideal partner to expand Asyad’s logistics capabilities and amplify its global reach. This acquisition means enhanced service offerings, access to a wider range of multimodal end-to-end logistics solutions, and expanded global reach for Asyad’s customers,” said Asyad.
The SFS network spans more than 90 geographies over six continents, with 1,400 customers including Fortune 500 and blue-chip companies across industries including food, energy, automotive, pharmaceuticals, and construction.
