July 01, 2017: Global logistics and transportation solutions company BDP International (BDP) has announced the opening of two new Indian offices in Hyderabad and Baroda.
BDP has maintained a presence in India since 2010 and integrated Unique Global Logistics Pvt Ltd into its operations in 2014. The new locations are BDP's fifth and sixth in the country, joining Bangalore, Barmer, Chennai and Gandhidham. The two new offices bring the Philadelphia-based company's global presence to 144 offices in 36 countries, serving more than 134 countries via the BDP network.
“Our continued efforts to strengthen our position in India is part of a strategic and long-term investment to the region,” said Richard J. Bolte, Jr, Chairman and CEO, BDP. “We're excited to see these plans continue to take shape and allowing us to exceed our customers' demands as supply chains continue to globalize.”
The Hyderabad office will focus on providing service to global and local customers, offering BDP's key capabilities, including international transportation by air and ocean, project logistics and import/export logistics.
A presence in Hyderabad will allow BDP to improve efforts in some of the most important provinces in India, particularly Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The office will focus on developing opportunities in the pharmaceutical, chemical, engineering and energy sectors.
Meanwhile, the Baroda office is strategically located in the state of Gujarat, home to leading chemical, petrochemical and heavy-engineering companies.
This advantageous location will allow BDP employees to cater to a growing demand of import/export customs house brokerage (CHB) activities for the region’s chemical customers. The office is slated to incorporate full-service capabilities in the near future to respond to increased demand.
