What ATLAS LOGISTICS BANGLADESH (PVT.) LIMITED. does

Atlas Logistics Bangladesh (Pvt.) Limited is a Bangladesh-incorporated, private international freight forwarder and customs broker headquartered at Prime Tower, Bijoy Nagar, Dhaka, with a branch in Chattogram (Chittagong). Founded in 2007 as the Bangladesh node of the broader Atlas Logistics group (which traces its operational roots to a 1992 India start), it operates bonded Container Freight Station facilities at Dhaka Airport (4,000 sq ft) and Chattogram port-side (10,000 sq ft), and runs an in-house ground-transport fleet. The company was acquired in 2024 by Japan-based SBS Group, combining local Bangladesh market presence with Japanese logistics and 3PL expertise.

The company's product set spans ocean freight (LCL, FCL, NVOCC, break bulk, buyer consolidation), air freight forwarding with airline space allocations, full customs brokerage across all sectors at Chittagong port (3-4 working day turnaround) and Dhaka/Chattagong airport (2-3 working days), specialized project cargo for heavy lift and oversized shipments, third-party logistics (3PL), warehousing and distribution, freight insurance through approved underwriters, ground transportation, and ancillary lines such as fair and exhibition logistics, household removal, sea/air and air/sea combined transport, and off-dock handling. Underlying technology consists of customs EDI connectivity, cargo tracking systems, bonded warehouse management, and a purchase-order management module; there is no disclosed proprietary AI/ML or platform layer.

Atlas serves enterprise and government clients across Bangladesh's export-import, manufacturing, energy, infrastructure, defense, and diplomatic sectors. Named accounts include the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant project, the Dhaka Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport 3rd Terminal project, the Bangladesh Coast Guard, the Bangladesh Gas Fields (Bakhrabad, Rashidpur), the Australian High Commission, the Bangladesh Defence Forces/UN, and UN-system bodies (UNDP, UNICEF, WHO), alongside global retail and technology accounts (Benetton, Carrefour, Dell, Samsung, TATA). The go-to-market is sales-led with a dedicated business development team executing direct enterprise outreach (importers, exporters, manufacturers, buying houses, trading companies), supported by a global agent network spanning 72 countries and memberships in WIN, Planet Logistics Network, MLN, CLN, JC Trans, and Tranz Nova. Revenue is earned on a transaction-fee basis across ocean and air forwarding, customs brokerage, project cargo, and 3PL lines, with multi-year rate agreements negotiated with shipping lines and airlines; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based per shipment.
