MUMBAI: MSA Global Logistics celebrated its 10th Anniversary with great fervour in Mumbai on 18th November 2022 amid the presence of cross section of Trade, Partners and Customers.
It is the main holding company of MSA Group incorporated in October 2012. The Company is engaged in the business of operating & Maintaining Container Freight stations, Warehousing (Bonded & General), Freight Forwarding, Custom Clearance (through Strategic tie-ups) & Contract Logistics. The Company has been also operating Container Freight Station and Empty Container Repair Depots across India through Subsidiary / Associate Companies.To mark the 10th Anniversary, Mr. Mahendar Puri, Chairman & Managing Director – MSA Global Logistics commented : “The Journey of MSA started nearly 31 years back, when I was of the age of 31.
Being a Chartered Accountant and getting into shipping business was like odd man out there and hence challenging for me.
“Way back in the year 1991, I got a call from my well-wisher and he asked, would you like to join
a Belgium based - CMB (Compagnie Maritime Belge), a Maritime Group with registered office in Antwerp and founded in 1895. I thought of exploring this opportunity despite no background in shipping industry and took it as a challenge.
In fact I am in Shipping Industry even now only because of its challenging nature.
So having worked for couple of more companies and Shipping Lines, one day, I got a call from Mr. Abhishek Poddar who also happens to be my co-founder of MSA saying why don’t we start our own entity?
“After considering the pros n cons, we decided to take a plunge into the world of shipping and here we are now celebrating the 10th Anniversary of successful operation of MSA Global.
“The journey of this Ten Years has not been a smooth sailing owing to the fact that Covid Pandemic took almost three year to recover. However, we at MSA Global took it as a challenge and worked relentlessly almost 24X7 during the Covid period to make sure that the wheels of commerce keep flowing uninterruptedly and the cargo reached its destination on time.”
New Collaboration “In fact, we at MSA Global Logistics entered into a Strategic Alliance for Management & Operations (SAMO) Agreement with Central Warehousing Corporation (CWC) for operations & management of the facility ‘CWC Impex Park’ in Nhava Sheva for period of
15 years in Feb 2020. During the Pandemic time, Company has managed to sustain the Growth chart and customer satisfaction by ensuring prompt services. The Company also have started new CFS Facility in Chennai in the month of August 2020, during pandemic.
So all in all, we performed much better during the Pandemic era when compared to its previous period”, highlighted
Mr. Puri.
New Facilities in Offering “On this occasion, I would like to enlighten our customers that we are starting a new Container Freight Station (CFS) at Hazira in a month or two. Also we are starting Warehousing and Empty Container Depot at Mundra.
So with all the immense support, love and affection shown by our valuable Partners, Customers, MSA Global Team and Family member I am pretty sure that we would be celebrating the success of next 10 years in a Grand manner, concluded Mr. Puri.
Mr. Abhishek Poddar – Co-Founder of MSA Global & Mr. Sachin Jagtap – General Manager – MSA Global felicitated its valuable customers and partners who immensely supported them during their 10 Years of successful operations.
