A relatively new player on the block, 2016 has seen strong performance from RSA Logistics. The firm was awarded the 3PL Service provider of the year at SCATA 2016 on the heels of being awarded the Excellence in Trade at Star of Business and the CSR label by Dubai Chambers.
Co-founder and MD Abhishek Ajay Shah recalls: We have stuck to our strategy and been able to inaugurate a key strategic project for our petrochemical services through RSA-TALKE and break-ground on a facility that we believe will transform the cold chain industry under the banner RSA Cold Chain (RCC).
The companys growth is sustained through partnerships, including one with Alfred Talke Logistic Services for RSA-TALKE to operate two chemicals storage facilities in DWC; and acquisition of assets and new projects such as RSA Cold Chain (RCC), which will offer end-to-end cold chain integrity for customers in an otherwise underserved market from Q1 2017.
While he doesnt consider himself to have made the greatest achievement of his career yet, Shah credits the companys success to solving supply chain challenges for customers and building solutions through key relationships to make possible things that werent previously considered as possible.
We believe in challenging the norms and using tools to solve supply chain challenges and we are very excited to see what we can do next, he says.
Shah adds: The next 12 months will no doubt throw challenges to us and our industry however, we believe in the wider macro-economic outlook. Thus, we shall continue to deploy our strategy and build the right technology to support and propel our growth in the coming months. Further, development of a highly enriched and empowered team will forever continue to be a focus area.
