Bahri, a global leader in logistics and transportation, has announced the expansion of its market presence in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region's maritime industry. The stronger presence will help the company gain deeper insights into market trends as well as customer needs in chemicals and logistics sectors in Singapore and the wider APAC region. The announcement took place at a grand ceremony held on April 5th at Regent Hotel in Singapore, in the presence of Abdullah Aldubaikhi, CEO of Bahri, and senior executives of the region's oil majors, petrochemical trading companies, and ship brokers. The expansion will also enable Bahri Logistics and Bahri Chemicals, two of five business units of the company, to market their offerings, acquire new clients, serve existing clients, and channelize the communications. Bahri has plans to expand the services of its other business units to the APAC region in the future. Abdullah Aldubaikhi, CEO, Bahri, said: "In our efforts to deliver on Bahri's vision of connecting economies, sharing prosperity, and driving excellence in global logistics services, we have been actively pursuing the company's ambitious long-term strategy to drive sustainable growth and expand its market footprint. As a result, we have established a solid presence regionally and globally. Our expansion in the Asia-Pacific region represents a key milestone in our journey, and with this, we have come even closer to our customers, allowing us to serve them better offering a wider range of industry services and unprecedented value."
