Posted on | by admin

Marking a decade of growth, they are seeking to expand their services and rebrand for the coming years

AJ Global Logistics Pte Ltd., a Coop member in Singapore, has recently celebrated its 10th anniversary. The company has marked this milestone with expanded operations and a refreshed brand focus, establishing itself as a specialized freight forwarder and customs broker.

In a major operational shift, AJ Global has acquired a 2,000-square-foot facility in Singapore, serving as both an office and light storage for its 3PL and local distribution services. For handling heavier machinery and project cargoes, the company has also secured a separate leased warehouse, designed to accommodate large-scale logistics demands. “As we celebrate our 10th Anniversary, we’re setting our sights on broader services and deeper support for our clients,” said Alan Lim, Director of AJ Global Logistics.

With the combined impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and recent conflicts in the Middle East, AJ Global has faced several hurdles over the years. Reflecting on these challenges, Lim shared, “Not all roads are smooth in the journey of our company, but with a dedicated team and some luck, we’ve managed to stay resilient and make up for lost time.”

AJ Global is also actively recruiting to strengthen its Singapore team, aiming to bolster regional support. Through its membership with The Cooperative Logistics Network, they are positioning themselves as a reliable, niche provider that clients and partners can depend on. Lim concluded, “As AJ Global Logistics looks toward the future, the company remains committed to delivering dependable, specialized services to meet the evolving needs of the logistics industry in Singapore.”

Congratulations to AJ Global Logistics on their 10th Anniversary and wishing them the very best with their upcoming projects!

The Cooperative Logistics Network surpasses 300 members!

Posted on | by admin

The Cooperative Logistics Network has set a new coverage record by adding its 300th agent. One major factor contributing to this growth is the fact that all members have had to pass a rigorous selection process, so only forwarders of the highest standards are part of the network.

The Cooperative Logistics Network surpasses 300 members!

“I am very excited about the sharp rise in the number of our members which is even more worthwhile bearing in mind the pandemic and the crumbling economy worldwide. As I see it, our key to success is the quality of the network, which wouldn’t be possible if we did not count with such reliable and qualified members. Since the very first moment, there has been a fantastic personal and professional relationship among them, which has surely contrinuted to their cooperation within the network. That is why I would like to thank all of them for their trust throughout these years, and even more in these difficult moments”, says Antonio Torres, the President and Founder of The Cooperative Logistics Network.

This increase had a role to play in the outstanding success of the Virtual Meeting of 2020 and the record attendance of The Coop’s Annual Meeting in 2019 where more than 180 freight forwarders met at Abu Dhabi. Additionally it undoubtedly demonstrates the efficiency, cooperation among partners, productiveness, and expediency of the network which has been operational for the last 5 years.

The Coop is also the first international freight forwarding network with global coverage to launch instant quoting ability for its members. FreightViewer – a member-exclusive transport management software – enables the members to instantly create professional and accurate door-to-door quotations by establishing an automated data transfer of carrier rates and tariffs. This year, The Cooperative has taken a step forward with the enhancements of this TMS by establishing agreements with some of the most prominent shipping solutions providers in the market.

Mr. Torres further adds, “Our team always strives for more and better services, in order to provide members with the most innovative advantages – firstly, through our efforts to improve our TMS – FreightViewer and secondly, with the wide array of logistics and marketing tools. This year, for example, we have created a new personalized online brochure for members and we have launched our blog.”

The Cooperative Logistics Network is presently represented by 305 independent freight forwarders from 130 countries spanning all five continents.

The Coop member ranks among the top agents on Qatar Airways and Cathay Pacific Airlines

Translog Express Pvt. Ltd., a Coop member in Mumbai and Ahmedabad, has recently garnered 2 prestigious awards by Qatar Airways and Cathay Pacific Airlines, due to the wide range of logistic services they offered as a high-quality agent.


Every year Qatar Airways organize a Top Agents’ Award Dinner, where they thank guests for their loyalty to them while looking forward to a more promising year for the business. In 2017, the glittering ceremony was held at the Novotel Hotel of Ahmedabad, where Translog Express was presented with the top agent award.

Additionally, the Cathay Pacific Certificate was delivered personally to their office. This is the 5th consecutive year that they received this Top Agent Award, which surely demonstrates their skill and expertise in the industry.

Ajay Shukla, the Executive Director of Translog Express, has stated that: “These awards are very important to Translog as it conveys our credibility to all our partners worldwide. Now they will now know that they are dealing with the very best. Qatar Airlines and Cathay Pacific Airlines are premium cargo carriers and receiving this award for the 5th consecutive time shows the trust and respect we received from our clients.”

Cooperative Logistics Network says recruitment drive successful: canadianshipper.com

MADRID, Spain–The Cooperative Logistics Network launched with the promise to applicants of a 6-month free trial in exchange for registering attendance at its 1st annual meeting next May. This promise has proved extremely popular, with hundreds of applications being received weekly, indicated founder Antonio Torres.

“Attendance at the first annual meeting is the best way for agents to kick-start their membership. From our experience in the networking industry, we have found that attendance at annual meetings is crucial to ensuring any members’ success; it’s a proven fact that members who attend increase their business,” Torres said.

“Agents work with people they have formed relationships with-this is true of any industry. I believe that the best freight forwarders understand the importance of meeting in person and so those applicants who say no to attending do not have a genuine interest in developing a worldwide network of agents and, therefore, are not for us,” he added.

The Coop team has been studying and whittling down the number of applicants to a block of 100 founding members which will be unveiled when the network has its operational launch on December 1st 2014.
