VISA Global Logistics announces joint venture with Navigators Logistics

Privately owned Australian international logistics company VISA Global Logistics (VGL) has announced a joint venture with Indian logistics company Navigators Logistics over three consecutive launch events in New Delhi, Mumbai and Pune.
The new company is formally called Navigators VISA Global Logistics, or NVGL.
“The partnership was founded on the amalgamation of two like-minded companies that share an unwavering commitment to technology, quality, best practice and a customer-centric approach,” said VGL in a media statement.
VGL and Navigators Logistics’ senior executives attended the events along with the Italian Ambassador to India, His Excellency Lorenzo Angeloni; Italian Consul General, Ugo Ciarlatani; and the Italian Chamber of Commerce Secretary General, Claudio Maffioletti.
“The joint venture combines VGL’s 35 years and Navigators’ 10 years of knowledge and expertise in global logistics and improving supply chains across industries,” VGL added.
Through 15 owned and operated offices, NVGL will handle door-to-door global transport of goods on the Europe – India, India – Asia and India – Australia trade lanes.
“As India progressively integrates into the global economy, the country’s population and buying power will be a driving factor in global trade,” said Vittorio Tarchi, Founder and Director, VGL. “At VGL, we have already seen a significant increase in containers moved in and out of India in the past five years, and this trend is showing no signs of slowing down.”
Simon Hardwidge, Managing Director of VISA Global Logistics, told Prime Creative Media that India offers a good opportunity for growth.
“VISA Global Logistics has been working together with Navigators out of our European offices for four years, and saw the value in making it a formal arrangement,” Hardwidge said.
“We are very excited to announce the joint venture as the Navigator people are enthusiastic, and looking forward to further developing the business together.”
