An ancient Chinese proverb says, “A journey of many miles begins with a single step”. The CSS Group as we know today had humble beginnings with T S Kaladharan setting foot on UAE soil 25 years ago. Today, CSS stands tall in the world of logistics with excellence in operations underscored by ceaseless energy and unrelenting passion in providing unmatched services to our growing customer base.
With an expanding network of operations that spans the Middle East and South Asia, CSS has offices in more than 14 locations across the region. Over the last two decades, our superlative quality of work and ceaseless commitment to excellence has made CSS synonymous with trust and a name to reckon with in the logistics industry.
The 25th anniversary is a significant milestone, and we marked it with the inauguration of our new branch in the Hamriyah Free Zone (HFZ). CSS Kingston at HFZ has been fully operational since 1st June 2020. It provides the full range of logistics services from freight forwarding, air freight, ocean freight, land transport, warehousing & distribution, supply chain management, reverse logistics to multimodal transportation, moving & relocation and much more. Every service can be fully customised to cater to customer demands so that their operations can happen unhindered.
Located in the emirate of Sharjah, Hamriyah Free Zone (HFZ) is the second-largest Free Zone in the United Arab Emirates. More than 6,700 businesses from over 157 countries across various verticals like petrochemicals, steel, construction and food processing operate out of HFZ.
CSS chose the Hamriyah Free Zone as part of its expansion plans as HFZ is a sought-after regional base by global investors due to its strategic location. It connects the major trade routes through Asia, Europe and Africa and provides us unrestricted access to a growing market of over two billion people. HFZ was awarded the prestigious Superbrand Status in 2017 by the global Superbrands Council, and CSS Kingston is proud to set up base in one of the premium business destinations in the UAE.
We look forward to the next leg of our journey, surmounting the new challenges with dauntless courage, uncompromising adherence to integrity and a renewed commitment to excellence.
