Air Freight services form a core part of SUMISO’s offering. The company is noted as one of the top IATA-registered agents at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL), maintaining direct relations with multiple airlines and handling significant cargo volumes. SUMISO has established competitive rates, including contracts with airlines for TC-1, TC-2, and TC-3, and operates a bonded warehouse and office facility located within the airport premises. Services extend to release and receive agent activities (MAWB consignee), transfer of shipments from airport terminals to the bonded warehouse, and cost controls such as no storage fees when pre-alerts are received (within KUL). The company also offers rapid freight collection, proactive notification of irregularities, and proof-of-delivery documentation for shipments released to consignees or their agents. In addition, SUMISO provides capabilities for building up or breaking down airline ULDs within its warehouse.
Beyond direct air operations, SUMISO engages in Air/Air and Sea/Air transshipment between KUL airport and Port Klang. The focus on time-sensitive logistics is evidenced by services for time-critical shipments, 24/7 operations, hand-carry services, and sector-specific support for industries such as oil & gas, automotive, exhibitions, and luxury items. The company also handles perishable and temperature-controlled goods, providing frozen, chilled, and ambient transport and storage for sensitive items like pharmaceuticals, food, flowers, live fish, and certain chemicals. Dangerous Goods handling is supported through DG-certified personnel, with appropriate packing, labeling, documentation, and carrier selection aligned to each DG class. Quality control is reinforced by regular team briefings conducted twice daily.
In Sea Freight operations, SUMISO maintains a bonded warehouse and emphasizes its capability to manage containerized shipments, reflecting a comprehensive approach to both air and sea modalities. The combination of bonded warehousing, direct airline relationships, and a structured approach to time-critical and hazardous goods credentials SUMISO as a versatile logistics partner within Malaysia and the broader Southeast Asia region.
