Over the years, BAEI expanded its service portfolio and operational footprint to cover end-to-end logistics solutions for a diverse range of customers and industries.
BAEI’s business model centers on combining local expertise with a connected international network. The company has historically leveraged exclusive or strong relationships with major global players to offer origin solution capabilities, reinforced by a dedicated local team and a network of facilities designed to support multiple modes of transport. This approach has facilitated the delivery of customized logistics solutions, tailored to the specific needs of customers in Bangladesh and beyond.
Facilities form a core part of BAEI’s value proposition. The group operates a substantial own bonded warehouse network, including a 55,000 square feet facility in Gazipur that supports customs bonding and garment quality inspection. In addition, an 18,000 square feet airfreight transit warehouse focuses on outbound cargo with secure, stable processes.
