Al Madina Logistic Services Company (SAOC), operating as Al Madina Logistics Services (AMLS), is an Oman-headquartered private 3PL/4PL logistics provider founded in 2007 and led by CEO Dr. Mahmoud Bin Sakhi Al Balushi.

Underlying technical and operational assets include ISO 22000 certified distribution centers, cold stores, and bonded warehouses; an ISO-certified transport fleet equipped with GPS/IVMS tracking; the proprietary JMCC integrated digital platform for transport and shipment management; and a Trading Partner Module (TPM) online customer portal. International sea, air, and land freight is delivered through a global partner network, while a full domestic service stack spans contract logistics (warehousing, cold chain, bonded storage, distribution, 4PL management, value-added services), freight forwarding and customs clearance, project cargo and charters, heavy lift transport, records management, and supply chain consultancy.

Commercially, AMLS operates a quote-based B2B services model (pricing not publicly disclosed) targeting enterprise clients across eight industry verticals: oil & gas, food & cold chain, pharma & medical equipment, retail/RMCG, banking & finance, defense & government, telecom, and automotive & spare parts. Primary named enterprise customers include OQ (Oman Oil Company) and Oman Oil Development Company (Tanam), with whom the firm holds a recurring relationship evidenced by multiple HSE/quality awards in 2025 and a supply logistics services contract signed 2025-12-30. The go-to-market is predominantly direct enterprise sales executed through the executive management team, supplemented by corporate-website-driven inbound and PR/news media presence, with no disclosed digital advertising or paid acquisition channels. Group affiliations with Global Financial Investment Holding, Omar Zawawi Establishment, and ecosystem partners including Asyad Oman, Oman International Container Terminal (OICT), and Duqm Port (SEZAD) embed AMLS within Oman's state-led logistics consolidation agenda (Oman Logistics Strategy 2040, Logistics Services Regulatory Rules 2022) and position the company to participate in the GCC logistics market projected to grow from USD 83.24 billion in 2025 to USD 120.21 billion by 2031.
