Dubai, 15 March 2017 - Impala Terminals and Master Consol Line (MCL), a neutral Sea freight consolidator for freight forwarders, have entered into a strategic partnership for management of LCL (Less than Container Load) consolidation operations in Jebel Ali Free Zone. Whilst both organizations operate within the logistics industry in the region, their niche in specific areas of the business brings synergies to this partnership. 

“As a consolidator with business from a large network of partners across various countries, we wanted to focus on our core business of building a strong consolidation network and sales, whilst leaving the operational aspect to an experienced partner such as Impala Terminals” explains Olivier Laurent, Managing Director, Master Consol Line. 

“This new partnership is a significant and positive step forward, and represents a strong alliance bringing together a great deal of experience and expertise from both companies. The synergies between the partners will enhance further the level of service available to MCL and its customers for its growing specialised consolidation service. This partnership also fits with Impala Terminals strategy to grow and expand our service offering in the Middle East,” said Manu George Luke, General Manager, Impala Terminals Middle East.  “In the Middle East, Impala Terminals is strategically located in the Jebel Ali Free Zone offering warehousing and distribution solutions to its clients ranging from metals, steel, industrial raw materials, project cargoes, electronics, automotive, spares and other general goods.”
