Ahlers Central Asia Projects
Strengthening Partnership with Uzbekistan
Ahlers marked a new milestone in Uzbekistan by signing a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Investment, Industry and Trade to explore the development of a logistics hub in Tashkent or Samarkand. The company also reinforced its commitment at a high-level roundtable with President Shavkat Mirziyoyev in Brussels.
New Warehouse in Almaty
Following our 2023 launch in Karaganda, Kazakhstan, this summer our team launched the second Kazakhstan facility in Almaty. The additional 7,000 sqm warehouse adds premium capacity to support Appliances, FMCG, Personal Care, and other consumer goods sectors.
Moving Giants Across Borders: Ahlers Delivers Heavy Machinery Shipment for Long-Time Customer
Complex breakbulk delivery of heavy off-highway mining trucks from India to Kazakhstan, navigating sea and land routes through China. With local teams and in-house chartering expertise, the shipment reached a mining-rich region safely and on time, securing a second identical lot already on its way.
Three Decades of Mastering Tobacco Logistics: Driving Security and Sustainability in a Demanding Industry
When global tobacco producers expanded eastward in the 1990s, Ahlers followed, combining European standards with local expertise in complex markets. Three decades later, that journey shaped our identity in high-value logistics and secured transportation. By leveraging deep industry expertise, new technologies and partnerships with top security experts and trusted carriers, we help our customers protect every shipment while reducing transport costs by up to 30%.
