TRISTAR

What TRISTAR does

Tristar is a business unit of Abu Dhabi-listed Agility Global PLC, operating within the logistics, supply chain management, and transport sectors. The entity is headquartered in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, and is integrated into a larger publicly listed diversified logistics and supply chain group. According to available sources, no specific branded products, modules, or named service offerings were identified beyond its operational activities; the company functions as an operating subsidiary participating in industry forums (such as the Limitless: The UAE Power Women's Forum co-organized with Gulf News in April 2026, attended by more than 200 people) and securing corporate financing.

The company's revenue mechanics and pricing models are not disclosed in the available source material. Tristar serves markets in the Middle East, with a primary focus on the United Arab Emirates, and maintains operational independence while operating under the corporate umbrella of Agility Global PLC. The parent company Agility Global PLC reported Q3 2025 revenue of $1.3 billion, though this cannot be attributed to Tristar as a standalone entity. The leadership team identified includes Carlos Gaitani as Chief Executive Officer. The firmographic profile lists the company as having 251-500 employees and a founding year of 1998, with an operating website at star3.com, although the product/service scope as described in aggregated sources remains logistics-focused rather than the defense contracting framing initially noted in firmographics.
