The agreement was signed in Dubai by Ramesh S. Ramakrishnan, chairman of Transworld, and Takahiro Suzue, president of Suzue Corporation.
Under the terms of the agreement, Transworld and Suzue will set up a new company at the Jebel Ali Free Zone in Dubai which will offer a wide range of logistics services to global customers including supply chain management, international freight forwarding, customs clearance, warehousing and distribution and land transport.
