IAL opens new logistics unit

IAL Logistics Emirates LLC, the new logistics arm of the IAL Group, was inaugurated by Abdulrahman Shaban, director of the Department of Economic Development, Government of Dubai.

IAL Logistics Emirates LLC has been positioned to provide end to end logistics services to trade and industries established in the UAE.

The service components under international and domestic logistics integrate solutions for customer requirements from points of procurement to points of delivery.

The service products have been designed to achieve effective two-way flow and storage of goods, service and related information at all points.

In addition to physical transportation of goods worldwide by Air, Sea and Land, the services cater to bonded and non bonded warehousing requirements of customers at origin/ destination.

Value addition at warehouses and distribution to points of consumption and delivery of e-merchandise under e-commerce are other prime elements of service.

T.V.N. Kutty, managing director of IAL Group, said: "IAL has been focusing on pure physical transportation during the last ten years.

"The needs of our customers under the renewed global initiatives to optimise their core competence have created demands for services before the start and after the end of physical transportation.

"Hence, IAL Logistics has been created as a customer-centric organisation to meet the emerging needs of our customers.

"Seamless integration using sophisticated technology and a worldwide network of offices and agencies make our services effective and efficient."

IAL Logistics' philosophy aims at becoming an integral element of customers' sourcing and distribution strategies, plans and processes.
