LTS Global Solutions kicks off international expansion plans with Hong Kong move

Logistics, transport, and shipping specialists LTS Global Solutions has kick started its international expansion plans by opening the first of three regional headquarters across the globe.

Having opened a new Far East headquarters in Hong Kong earlier this year, the Birmingham-based company is now looking to increase its global footprint by establishing a presence in the Middle East and India, namely in Dubai and Delhi.

The move into Dubai is expected to be finalised in the coming months and India towards the latter end of 2024.

Its growth plan will enable the ambitious end-to-end supply chain specialists to gain a strategic foothold in key global markets, enabling the seamless movement of goods to or from Asia and the Middle East back to the UK.

It comes during a time where global trade dynamics are shifting, and the expansion has been set in motion to ensure the business is well-positioned to meet the increasing demands of international shipping and logistics services.

Managing Director Dave Hands said:

“Our expansion into these pivotal regions is a testament to our commitment to providing unparalleled logistics solutions on a global scale.

“By establishing regional hubs in Hong Kong, Dubai, and India, we are not only enhancing our service capabilities, but are also reinforcing our position as a leading player in the international logistics arena, both now and in the future, through leveraging the unique advantages and opportunities each location has to offer.

“This strategic presence across all three regions will enable us to better serve our customers domestically in the UK and internationally.”

Speaking on the strategic vision behind the tiered expansion, Mirza Baig, International Director, added: “The first of our three new offices, situated in Hong Kong, was chosen as a result of its strategic position in enabling access to the Far East, enabling us to efficiently serve customers across Asia and further afield.

“However, this was always only going to be one part of the puzzle moving forward. In line with our aspiration to cater to the entire gulf state centrally from the Middle East, Dubai’s world-class infrastructure and strategic location presented an optimal choice to establish a presence in the MEA region, which will be finalised in the coming months. Not only does the city boast major ports and airports to facilitate efficient global trade, but its robust economy and a steadfast commitment to innovation gives us the ability to ensure efficient operations and access to a vast, rapidly growing market in the Middle East and beyond.”

“Later this year we will also look to complete on our new office in South Asia. As the world’s fastest growing economy, India has developed to become one of the globe’s leading emerging markets, which similarly made it an attractive option to serve as an essential hub for our operations. The country’s rapid urbanisation and rising disposable incomes position it as a lucrative and favourable business environment to operate in.”
