Our story
Today, CGL stands among the East Mediterranean's leading logistics companies. What began in 1982 as a small Beirut shipping company has grown into a full-service logistics house — yet the approach that started it all remains: a professional, highly motivated team dedicated to every client's needs, with a personal touch and tailor-made solutions built around each requirement.
That commitment to quality runs through every part of the operation. A network of global offices and representatives keeps movements seamless at both ends — across freight forwarding by air, sea and land, customs clearance, logistics and warehousing — for private businesses and government bodies alike.
We are grateful to everyone who has helped build this company, and proud to partner with every client we serve — always working to honour our promises and exceed what is expected of us.
When the shipment is difficult, clients should feel informed, supported and confident that the next step is already being handled.
