Forward. Together.- Globalia’s 7th Annual Meeting In Our Members’ Words

Posted on 6 November, 2026 | by Tamishra

Globalia members reflect on the connections, partnerships and shared achievements celebrated at the network’s 7th Annual Meeting in Bangkok

Ten years of building connections across the global logistics industry is a milestone worth celebrating. And as Globalia Logistics Network marked its 10th anniversary during its 7th Annual Meeting in Bangkok, from 26 to 28 October 2026, the occasion became even more meaningful through the messages shared by members. When the final handshakes were exchanged in Bangkok, the 7th Globalia Logistics Network Annual Meeting did not simply end. It moved into the inboxes, social feeds and everyday conversations of the members who had been there.

We are grateful to all our members who took the time to share their congratulations, experiences and thoughts following the meeting. Their words capture the spirit behind our anniversary theme, Forward. Together. Rather than summarise the meeting ourselves, we thought it only right to let the members tell it. Here are some of the reflections they shared.

Before the Meeting: Arriving with Purpose

Anticipation built long before the first welcome reception. Members arrived in Thailand with clear goals, eager to meet partners face to face. Talita dos Santos of Ecco-Freight Transport Services, member in Valencia, Spain announced her arrival ready to connect with global partners and discuss how to elevate their supply chains. Azmain Bhuiyan of CML Consolidation & Logistics Services, member in Chittagong, Bangladesh came looking to exchange ideas and explore new opportunities in global logistics. For both, the three days were a chance to turn familiar names into face-to-face partnerships.

Bringing an International Logistics Community Together

The value of an annual meeting lies in the opportunity to bring people together. For freight forwarders working across international markets, meeting partners in person provides a chance to strengthen existing relationships, exchange experiences and explore possibilities that may develop into future collaborations.

Sherif Dawod of EGY Logistics, Globalia member in Cairo Egypt, highlighted precisely this aspect of the Bangkok gathering. Proud to have participated in Globalia’s 7th Annual Meeting, he described it as a valuable opportunity to reconnect with global partners, meet new members, exchange experiences and explore new business opportunities across international markets. Mr. Dawod also emphasised a belief that resonates throughout the logistics industry: strong relationships are the foundation of successful logistics solutions. Looking ahead, EGY Logistics is excited to turn the connections made during the meeting into stronger partnerships and new opportunities worldwide.

For Ziegler South Africa, Globalia member in Johannesburg, represented by Zelna Minnie, the meeting was a chance to hear what is happening at origin and destination, discuss routing options and find ways to make shipments run more smoothly for customers.

Following the event, she highlighted the importance of connecting with freight partners in person and working closely across borders. “These relationships help us work closely across borders and keep our customers’ cargo moving. It’s always valuable to spend time together in person. Thank you to the Globalia team for bringing everyone together, and congratulations on 10 years!” These reflections underline an important part of Globalia’s purpose: creating opportunities for independent freight forwarders to build trusted relationships with partners in different markets and work together more closely.

The value of being in the same room

The strength of an international logistics network becomes particularly evident when members recognise the role that collaboration plays in moving cargo across borders. Guillermo Aguilar of Pacifica Customs Logistics, member in Monterrey, Mexico, put it vividly. Behind every container that reaches a customer’s warehouse, he wrote, there is an invisible network of people coordinating ports, customs and routes around the world. In Bangkok, he said, that network was shaking hands, so that clients working with Pacifica can be certain their cargo is backed at every kilometre of the journey and every port of origin.

By bringing together partners from different countries, the event reinforced the relationships that support cargo movements across international routes. It is this network of people, expertise and local knowledge that gives international partnerships their practical value.

The anniversary celebrations in Bangkok also offered members an opportunity to recognise how far Globalia has come since its beginnings.

Bimsara Perera of Benchmark Logistics International, member in Colombo, Sri Lanka, shared his pride in celebrating the network’s 10th anniversary, expressing gratitude for the recognition and for the opportunity to contribute to the growth of the logistics industry and its global partnerships. His message reflected the shared enthusiasm of members looking towards the next chapter, with continued success and many more milestones ahead.

Recognising a Decade of Commitment: The 10-Year Foundation Member Award

One of the memorable moments of Globalia’s 10th-anniversary celebrations in Bangkok was the recognition of its foundation members through the 10-Year Foundation Member Award. These companies have been part of Globalia since its earliest days, contributing to the relationships and international collaboration that have shaped the network over the past decade. The awards were a tribute to their continued commitment and the role they have played in Globalia’s journey.

For some members, Bangkok was an opportunity to celebrate a journey they have been part of from the very beginning. PCFS Logistics, Globalia member in Sydney, Australia, represented by Paul Petrovski, Silvana Petrovski and Tim O’Brien, marked the occasion as a proud foundation member of Globalia. As Silvana Petrovski noted, ” We would like to express our heartfelt appreciation for the 10-Year Foundation Member Award. It was a very special moment to see all the founding members recognised and acknowledged for their continued commitment to the network. Having been part of Globalia since its inception, we are extremely proud and grateful to have witnessed its growth and success over the past decade.”

As Globalia enters its second decade, the messages received from members are a welcome reminder of what makes the network meaningful. The annual meeting may bring everyone together for a few days, but the conversations, trust and partnerships developed through these gatherings continue long after delegates return home.

Globalia’s 7th Annual Meeting in Bangkok Marks 10 Years and a New Chapter for the Network

Posted on 30 October, 2026 | by Tamishra

Over three days at the InterContinental Bangkok, freight forwarders gathered for the network’s 7th Annual Meeting, a decade-defining milestone that brought a fresh look, a renewed vision, and a few well-earned trophies

More than 70 freight forwarding professionals gathered at the InterContinental Bangkok from 26 to 28 October for Globalia Logistics Network’s 7th Annual Meeting. The three days were filled with one-to-one business meetings, networking and discussions on new opportunities for international cooperation. The occasion carried extra weight because Globalia is turning ten. The network used the Bangkok stage to unveil a new brand identity and a slogan for its next chapter: Forward. Together.

Ten years is a long time in logistics. Routes change, technologies arrive, and entire markets rearrange themselves. What tends to last is the handshake. Globalia was founded in 2016 by Antonio Torres with a simple purpose: to connect independent logistics companies through reliable partnerships. As it enters its second decade, the network does so with a modernised visual identity and a clear strategic vision. The new slogan is deliberate. It looks to the future while holding on to the philosophy that built the network, which puts the quality of its membership and the strength of the relationships between members ahead of sheer size.

For three days, the InterContinental Bangkok became a meeting point for the world of independent freight forwarding. Delegates arrived from different markets and time zones, many of them long-standing partners who had so far worked together mostly through emails, quotations and shipment updates. In Bangkok they had the chance to sit down across the table.

The one-to-one business meetings remained the core of the programme, as they have been at every Globalia gathering. Each member had dedicated time to present their services, discuss their strengths and explore new trade lanes. They also had time to identify the right partners for future shipments. In an industry where a shipment often passes through unfamiliar hands in distant ports, a conversation in person can do what no directory listing can. It shows who you can trust.

One of the most memorable moments of the anniversary celebrations came with the presentation of special commemorative trophies to long-standing members who have been with Globalia for roughly ten years. The awards recognised the companies that joined in the network’s early days and have contributed to its growth ever since.

Reflecting on the network’s first decade, Paul and Silvana Petrovski of PCFS Logistics, founder members of Globalia in Sydney, Australia, say: “Over the last ten years, we have built not only strong business partnerships through Globalia but also genuine friendships with agents around the world. Many of these relationships remain among our strongest today. What matters most is knowing that when we entrust a shipment to another member, it will be handled with the same care and professionalism we would provide ourselves.”

The meeting also gave newcomers a warm entry into the network. This year’s gathering welcomed many new members, who had the opportunity to introduce their companies to the wider network, meet potential partners and establish connections with experienced colleagues.

Between the scheduled meetings, the networking and the wider discussions on international cooperation, the atmosphere was one of genuine exchange. Torres sums up the thinking behind it:

“Our meetings allow members to get to know one another beyond emails and quotations. That personal connection is what helps turn an introduction into a lasting business relationship.”

— Antonio Torres, President of Globalia Logistics Network

The anniversary was also a chance to look back at how far the network has come. Alongside its international membership, Globalia has developed additional resources to support members’ business development, visibility and day-to-day operations, all while keeping the personal approach at the centre of its philosophy.

Globalia Marks 10 Years with a New Identity, Anniversary Video and an upcoming Annual Meeting in Bangkok

Posted on 18 September, 2026 | by Tamishra

Following the unveiling of its refreshed brand identity, Globalia releases a commemorative video celebrating a decade of trusted partnerships as the network prepares to gather in Bangkok this October

Globalia Logistics Network is celebrating ten years of connecting freight agents across the globe. To mark this milestone, it has unveiled a refreshed visual identity, a new tagline—”Forward. Together.” and a special anniversary video featuring reflections from its members. The video offers members and partners a first look at the story behind the network ahead of its upcoming Annual Meeting in Bangkok in October.

https://www.globalialogisticsnetwork.com/10th-anniversary.php — Globalia’s 10th Anniversary video- Click above to watch

The video opens with a message from Globalia’s Director, Antonio Torres, who traces the network’s origins back to a simple premise: bring reliable freight forwarders together and turn business connections into long-standing, profitable partnerships. The video really comes alive through its members, with voices from across the Globalia map. Paul and Silvana Petrovski from PCFS Logistics join in from Sydney, while Chandrasenan Krishnan of Antares Logistics shares the Mumbai side of the story. Fellipe Serra of LAC Worldwide brings in the Itajaí perspective, and Ishmael Oduro Marfo of BAJ Freight and Logistics speaks for the network’s presence in Ghana. Michael Gowrie of Remiro Freight Services adds his take from Globalia Amsterdam, and David Guillermo Maidana and Mauricio Regner of CIS Global Services round things out with the Buenos Aires perspective.

What comes through in all these stories is how a handful of early connections and face-to-face meetings turned into real, lasting partnerships, and how the network kept growing over the years without losing the personal touch that made it work in the first place.

Globalia Logistics Network 10th Anniversary

Founded in 2016 with 30 members, Globalia has grown into an international community currently represented in 120 countries. The network has followed a selective approach to expansion rather than pursuing unrestricted membership growth, assessing companies on their experience, financial standing, and reliability before admission.

“Globalia was never created to be the largest freight forwarding network. Our objective has always been to bring together reliable companies and build a network where members receive personal attention and have real opportunities to develop business together,” says Antonio Torres, President and Founder of Globalia Logistics Network. “But above all, it is our members who have made Globalia grow. What began as a network has become a close international community that, over the years, we have come to consider a family. Their trust and commitment are what have allowed us to reach this milestone.”

Globalia members themselves point to both the commercial and personal value of the network: “Globalia has opened up the world to us, allowing us to work with trusted and reliable partners and reach countries where doing business can otherwise be difficult because of trust. It has also helped us grow our business through the network,” say Paul and Silvana Petrovski of PCFS.

Mauricio Regner of CIS Global Services adds: “It is not just about the business opportunities or growth, but also about the human side. Over the years, we have had the opportunity to get to know members personally and build relationships that go beyond business.”

Over the past decade, Globalia Logistics Network has also expanded the resources available to members, including international promotional campaigns, marketing and social media support, FreightViewer, its online quotation tool, and professional development opportunities through partnerships with CIFFA and TraversEd.

To mark the anniversary, Globalia has unveiled a refreshed visual identity and new logo under the slogan “Forward. Together.” The new identity reflects the network’s evolution while maintaining the principles on which it was built: collaboration, reliability, personal support and long-term business relationships.

“Ten years is an important milestone, but it is also a starting point,” says Torres. “Our next stage will focus on creating greater visibility and stronger business opportunities for our members, developing more effective digital tools and continuing to provide the personalised support that has always been part of Globalia.”

The release of this video comes at a meaningful moment for Globalia. The network will gather in Bangkok from October 26th to 28th for its 7th Annual Meeting, an occasion that doubles as a celebration of ten years of growth and collaboration. The event will bring together independent freight forwarders from more than 100 countries at the InterContinental Bangkok, with delegates taking part in personalized one-to-one meetings across the two main conference days.

Ten years on, Globalia’s growth reflects the same principle that guided its founding: one carefully selected member per city, chosen not simply to expand the network but to strengthen it. For freight forwarders seeking a genuine, exclusive alternative to open-membership networks, Globalia continues to offer a professional and supportive environment where independent companies can thrive internationally.

Freight forwarders interested in learning more about membership can schedule a personalized consultation with the Globalia team to explore how the network’s exclusivity, global reach, and trusted partnerships can support long-term business growth.

Globalia Logistics Network Partners with TMS Transportation & Climate Change Conference 2026

Posted on 20 August, 2026 | by Tamishra

TMS Transportation & Climate Change Conference 2026 will be held on 24 September 2026 at Hilton Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

Globalia Logistics Network is pleased to announce its partnership with The Maritime Standard Transportation & Climate Change Conference 2026, a global platform bringing together industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators to address the challenges and opportunities surrounding climate change and the future of sustainable transportation.

Under the theme Scaling Climate Action: Finance, Fuel, Resilience & Recovery in Global Transport, TMS TACCC 2026 will examine how finance, alternative fuels, infrastructure development, and digital transformation can accelerate the transition towards a more sustainable, secure, and resilient transport ecosystem.

The conference will bring together senior decision-makers from shipping, ports, logistics, energy, finance, technology, and government to discuss the practical challenges of delivering net-zero transport. Key discussions will address evolving regulations, carbon markets, alternative fuel pathways, financing models, energy security, and the resilience of global transport systems.

Key Industry Discussions

The 2026 programme has been developed against a rapidly changing global backdrop, with evolving regulatory frameworks, increasing carbon pricing pressures, alternative fuel development, geopolitical disruption and growing concerns around energy security and supply chain resilience influencing investment and strategic decision-making across the transport sector. The conference will examine how the industry can move from climate ambition towards real-world implementation by bringing together perspectives from across the maritime, transport, energy, infrastructure, finance and technology sectors.

The First Session

The first session, “Delivering Net-Zero Maritime: Regulation, Markets & Investment Readiness,” will focus on the regulatory, financial and commercial forces shaping maritime decarbonisation.

Discussions will examine the latest developments in the IMO’s global GHG regulatory framework, including the proposed fuel standard, GHG pricing mechanism, lifecycle emissions, chain of custody and compliance requirements. The session will also assess the implications of regional regulatory frameworks such as EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime, as well as the growing complexity created by overlapping international and regional climate policies.

Furthermore, this session will explore the implications of regulatory divergence for competitiveness, investment certainty and long-term industry strategy. The financing of maritime decarbonisation will form another key area of discussion, with attention to green and transition finance, blended finance, insurance, public-private partnerships and multilateral support.

The programme will also take a practical look at alternative fuels, examining the availability, cost, infrastructure requirements, lifecycle emissions, safety and scalability of ammonia, methanol, LNG, hydrogen and biofuels. It will conclude by examining geopolitics, energy security and maritime resilience, exploring how disruption around critical maritime chokepoints is affecting energy flows, shipping routes, freight economics, insurance costs, emissions, infrastructure priorities and long-term investment strategies.

The Second Session

The second session, “Technology & Infrastructure: Scaling Decarbonized Transport Ecosystems,” will turn its focus towards the technologies, infrastructure and integrated systems required to move decarbonisation from pilot projects to large-scale implementation. The session will explore how advanced analytics, automation and digital tools can improve routing, reduce emissions and enhance operational performance across fleets and ports. Moreover, it will also examine the role of digital measurement, reporting and verification systems, blockchain and transparent carbon accounting in strengthening emissions tracking, compliance and accountability.

The transformation of ports will be another central theme, with discussions focusing on the development of Green Ports as integrated energy hubs equipped with shore power, alternative fuel bunkering, storage and grid connectivity. As the availability of alternative fuels remains a key challenge for the transition, the programme will examine the requirements for industrial-scale fuel production and logistics, including global distribution networks, certification frameworks and cross-border collaboration to bridge the gap between supply and demand.

Attention will further turn to the decarbonisation of existing fleets through carbon capture, retrofitting technologies and energy efficiency measures, assessing their potential to reduce emissions from current assets while supporting a pragmatic transition. The programme will conclude with a focus on the wider ecosystem required to deliver the transition, highlighting the role of engineering companies, classification societies, shipyards, technology providers and logistics stakeholders in advancing innovation, compliance, vessel design and integrated system development.

Through its two core sessions, TMS TACCC 2026 will provide a platform for senior stakeholders to examine the intersection of regulation, finance, fuel, technology, infrastructure, energy security and resilience. The conference aims to support a practical and commercially focused dialogue on how the global transport sector can accelerate decarbonisation while responding to geopolitical uncertainty, evolving market conditions and the infrastructure demands of a rapidly changing energy landscape.

A Chance for Globalia Members to Connect with the Wider Sustainable Transport Community

For freight forwarders, TMS TACCC 2026 provides an opportunity to engage with the wider transport and maritime ecosystem and gain a deeper understanding of the regulatory, technological, and commercial developments influencing the future of global logistics.

Globalia encourages its members to participate in TMS TACCC 2026 as a valuable opportunity to expand their professional networks, gain insights into the latest developments in sustainable transportation, and connect with senior decision-makers from across the maritime, logistics, energy, and technology sectors.

Globalia member in Johannesburg delivers complex abnormal load transport from Beitbridge to the DRC

Posted on 31 July, 2026 | by Tamishra

The project showcases the company’s ability to transport heavy cargo across some of Africa’s most difficult cross-border corridors

Ziegler South Africa PTY Ltd, member of Globalia Logistics Network in Johannesburg, South Africa, has completed the movement of an abnormal out-of-gauge (OOG) load from Beitbridge, South Africa to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), demonstrating once again its ability for the handling of complex project cargo movements across the African continent.

The operation involved detailed planning, precise coordination and careful execution to ensure safe and compliant transport of the oversized cargo. The project logistics team of Ziegler South Africa was responsible for the entire operation, from route assessments, permit applications,
escort arrangements and border crossing management.

Beitbridge is an essential route for abnormal load transport as a major gateway into Central Africa. With its extensive cross-border experience, regional expertise and established partner network, Ziegler South Africa has successfully dealt with the operational and regulatory
challenges of transporting oversized cargo across multiple jurisdictions.

“Projects like these highlight the importance of experience, planning, and coordination,” says Zelna Minnie of Ziegler South Africa. “The successful movement of abnormal cargo relies on many moving parts coming together seamlessly. From permits and route planning to border
formalities and on-the-ground execution, every detail matters. Thanks to the dedication of our team and partners, we were able to deliver a safe, efficient, and reliable solution for our client.”

Congratulations to Ziegler South Africa PTY Ltd and all the best for their upcoming projects!
