Reaching New Horizons,
From the Heart of
Launching of New Office &
Regional Director
Warehouse in Jebel Ali,
Dubai, UAE
7th of January 2015 was another achievement
day for Frontline Logistics.
Our brand new office as well as warehouse situated
at VC 03 was inaugurated by Regional Director
Mr. Nassar BP.
We all should have a dream.
Reality and Dreams Realized
Frontline Logistics was formed half a decade back
with such a dream. Our Vision is “To achieve Global
recognition as a leading Logistic provider and best
choice of customer and business partners”.
Have we succeeded in our Vision? The offices in
Kuwait, Dubai, Jebel Ali Freezone, Iraq and a
repesentation office in India with a strong
committed work force of 150 plus personnel serving
multinationals, local companies, Government
sectors, Armies and Hydrocarbon Sector as well as
our affiliations to such giant networks as WCA, C5C,
IAM for sure will give answer to the question.
Frontline Logistics Footprints which will be circulated
quarterly henceforth, is a small attempt to bridge us
with our customers as well as our associates
worldwide. An attempt will be made to keep all of
you informed of our strategic business moves and
how we wish to confront the Global challenges.
Thereafter the Regional Manager Mr. Vivian Castelino,
welcomed the gathering as well as complimented
the Directors of Frontline Logistics, Mr. Nassar,
Mr. Anwar, Mr. Afsal and Mr. Musthafa. He also
congratulated the Manager of the newly setup
office Mr. Janardan and wished him all the best in
the new venture. In his reply Nassar complimented
Vivian and Anwar in realizing his dream of having
an own facility in JAFZA. To celebrate the
occasion, a cake was cut by Nassar, Vivian, Anwar
and Janardan, in the spirit of family togetherness.
Janardan thanked one and all for attending.
Gathering was taken to the new warehouse for
viewing followed by light refreshments.
Exceeding the expectations is what we are
committed to. Services Unlimited is what we are
known to be in our business. Making customers
competative, not by offering cheap rates, but giving
the right solution is our aim. Growth of Business as
well as our personnel is our cherished Goal.
When the heart speaks, reality and dreams have
their expression in true sense. For a youthful and
enthusiastic business entity like Frontline Group
both reality and dreams set the pace of growth and
determine the effort required to be made.
Though Logistics is an art and science of speed, for
a Logistics Company it makes sense via putting its
imprints in the market it occupies. The emergence
of Frontline as a sought after brand was the result
of such imprints in its timeline.
Frontline Footprints is a folio of our realities and
dreams. More specifically, our newsletter
illustrates the chronicles of our journey through the
recent past, aspirations for the future and the
reflections of the good work we have been
investing to shape the future. The past, present and
future meet here to energize us for great tasks. Let
us dream, visualize, work and grow together. Once
again, welcome to Frontline Footprints.

Broadening The Horizon of
Networking
Frontline Logistics Kuwait, Iraq and Dubai are now
affiliated to C5C & WCA.
Frontline Logistics, Basra, Iraq is affiliated to C5C
(Connecting 5 Continents) for the past two years.
A further decision was taken by the Management
to affiliate their Kuwait HQ as well as Dubai
office into C5C network.
This affiliation has given Frontline Logistics an even
wider tool to reach its associates worldwide in
unique principle of getting logistic solutions in a
speedy, economical and efficient manner. C5C
network based in Germany and having associates
in more than 95 countries with 250 plus
associates is indeed an important tool in getting the
right solution at the right time at the right price.
During March 2015, the relocations team

Frontline Logistics Leads
the Way. Dubai - Kuwait Iraq LTL Service is Paving
the Way
It was way back in June 2014 that the Frontline
Logistics Management in Dubai and Kuwait came
up with a brilliant solution to its ever growing
demand of customers to provide LTL service to Iraq.
Demand was simple. We give you money. You give
us solutions!!! Thus emerged LTL services, which
was then published as a weekly service offering our
customers – our warehouse in Dubai to Door Iraq
LTL solutions. At times it was a tough task, given
the security situation. But it is our LTL services
which has remained the much sought after and this
successful product just proves the point that the
proof of the pudding is in the eating.
The Football team sponsored by Frontline Logistics
Group and played under KEFAK (Kerala Expats
Football Association, Kuwait). KEFAK is a body of 18

KEFAK Soccer League was started in 2012.
The team finished top of Group B with 18 points in
the season 2014-15 knocking down all its strongest
opponents like Fahaheel Brothers (The Champions
of the previous Season) as well as the star studded
Malappuram Brothers in the group stages.
