Nairobi - Expo Freight-EFL (Nairobi) (Formerly known as Expolanka Freight Limited)
Nairobi - Expo Freight-EFL (Nairobi) operates as the local arm of a global logistics network with historical ties to Expolanka Freight Limited. The broader Expolanka Group traces its origins to 1982 when it started in Colombo, Sri Lanka, with a small team and a clear focus on reliability, financial integrity, and dependable service delivery. Over the decades, the group expanded its footprint to operate internationally with a network spanning multiple countries and offices, and it developed capabilities in air and sea forwarding, freight chartering, and comprehensive distribution.
The Nairobi entity continues this legacy by aligning with the group’s established competencies while adapting to the East African market. Core service lines include international air and sea forwarding, which cover the core duties of moving goods across borders efficiently and in compliance with relevant regulations. In addition, the organization offers trans-shipment via Dubai, enabling connections to global destinations and facilitating more complex routing options for customers seeking access to challenging trade lanes.
Freight aircraft chartering represents a notable capability within the portfolio, providing flexible solutions for customers with time-sensitive cargo or specialized transport needs that require non-scheduled or dedicated aircraft capacity. This service can be particularly valuable for high-priority shipments, perishable goods, or large-volume consignments that demand tailored scheduling and routes.
Road distribution to neighboring Gulf countries is another highlighted service, illustrating a networked approach to inland and regional cargo movement. This capability supports end-to-end logistics, complementing air and sea operations with ground transportation to ensure last-mile or regional delivery when required.
The historical profile of Expolanka and its subsequent evolution into Expo Freight-EFL underscores a commitment to reliability, systemized operations, and a comprehensive suite of logistics solutions. For Nairobi, this translates into a capability set suited to mid- to large-scale shipments that require coordinated multimodal solutions, transparent process management, and integrated movement from origin to destination.
As a part of a larger global network, the Nairobi office benefits from established procedures, standardized documentation practices, and access to a broad range of carriers and service partners. While the local profile may emphasize East African market needs, the overarching framework supports seamless cross-border transport, robust risk management, and clear communication channels for customers, agents, and trading partners. The group’s longstanding emphasis on service reliability and disciplined operations remains a guiding principle for Nairobi operations, reinforcing confidence for businesses seeking predictable logistics performance.
Note: The original profile references the global Expolanka ecosystem and its trans-continental logistics capabilities. Regional adaptations in Nairobi are aligned with international standards while focusing on the specific regulatory and commercial conditions prevalent in Kenya and East Africa. Potential clients can expect a structured approach to shipment planning, documentation support, timetable awareness, and an emphasis on safety and compliance throughout the cargo lifecycle.
