One of the CIS and Central Asia’s fastest growing freight and logistics service companies, STL, has established an office in Singapore from which it plans to expand its presence in the South East Asia region.
“Singapore is one of the world’s leading trading and shipping hubs and our new office will enable STL to provide enhanced services to the CIS and Central Asia for our customers in the region,” said Erlan Dikaenbayev, Managing Director of STL.
“Singapore will also be an important addition to our growing network of offices in China, Iran, India and CIS, which will help us deliver a broader range of services in South East Asia for our customers around the world.”
The group has appointed Razali Saad as STL Country Manager, who brings with him 20 years shipping, freight forwarding and logistics experience in the South East Asia market.
The newly opened STL Singapore office is located close to Changi International Airport and will offer a range of services including air and ocean freight, as well as warehousing, distribution, consolidation and other value-added services.
STL has grown rapidly during the last 12 months opening offices in India, Iran and Dubai as trading booms with the resource rich CIS and Central Asia region.
Central Asia and Russia are rich in natural resources such as oil, gas and minerals and has modern heavy industries such as steel plants. As the economies grow in the region demand for imported goods and materials is increasing.
STL provides a range of freight services to destinations such as Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Ukraine, Russia through gateways in Qingdao as well as through Bandar Abbas port in Iran and has a well established network of partners in Europe, US and other parts of the world.
