What H A LOGISTICS LTD does

H-Logistics Limited is a privately held, Scotland-based B2B procurement and logistics intermediary founded in 2010, serving the global mining and construction industries. The company sources equipment and supplies from a network of specialist suppliers across Europe and the United States, and delivers them to project sites worldwide, including remote and land-locked locations. Its service offering spans the full supply chain: supplier identification, procurement, freight coordination (air, sea, and overland), customs clearance, and final delivery. The company is structured around eight product categories covering construction, mining, PPE, accommodation, drilling, exploration, mineral processing, and administration.

The company operates with a small team of 21 employees from its headquarters in Lanark, Scotland, positioned near a rail head and major road links to minimize transport costs. Its go-to-market is sales-led, relying on direct outreach via phone and email, supported by a professional website showcasing capabilities and case studies. Revenue is generated through professional services fees on procured goods and logistics coordination, with pricing on a quote-based model that is not publicly disclosed. The only publicly named customer engagement is Banlaw Afrique Sarl, for which H-Logistics procured and delivered over US$500,000 of critical supplies to a gold mine in Burkina Faso in 48 hours via chartered airfreight, with SDV International Logistics handling local customs clearance.

The business model is that of a traditional procurement and logistics intermediary, with no disclosed technology platform, proprietary software, AI/ML capabilities, or digital marketplace. The company's competitive positioning rests on its curated supplier database, regulatory and permit knowledge across jurisdictions, low cost base, and demonstrated ability to execute time-critical, complex international logistics. No external funding, institutional investment, or M&A activity is recorded.
