HTL Achievements

HTL has been commended for various achievements during the last 42 years of operations. We have pioneered and innovated many products in the freight forwarding industry including conceptualizing ‘Hanging Garments’ for Containers, sea/air & air/sea products which were designed to cater to the Apparel & Textile industry for which HTL specializes till date.

Apart from above products, HTL was the pioneering International freight forwarder to open own offices in Pakistan and Bangladesh and was only the 2nd to enter the Indian market. Currently we are the oldest international freight forwarder in operation in India with over 26 years of service. Led by the Chairman Mr.Reyaz Farook, HTL were the first to receive approval to issue HAWBs in India and the rest of the industry followed suit with us opening the door for the trade.

Apart from Apparel Industry, HTL was also instrumental in commencing perishable cargo movements such as Tuna fish to Japan, US & Europe. We were also pioneers of perishable movements into Pakistan from Sri Lanka.

Another significant area of success for HTL was chartering of over 50 aircraft’s 747 – 200 during the 1st Gulf war which is a difficult feat to achieve by any standard. We were also the 1st to bring in Cargolux 747 – 400 to Delhi and Chennai thus providing a much needed solution to the booming South Indian market.

A key area of expertise and specialization for the HTL Group is the pharmaceuticals. We have been service providers for leading pharma brands such as Dr.Reddy’s for over 15 years and offer state of the art technology such as OPTI COOLERS and HTL express (a customized solution for air consolidation with multiple pick-ups) which are unique.
