The Group
GLS Group was established in 2012 to address structural gaps in Liberia's trade logistics system. Rather than operating solely as an intermediary, GLS adopted an asset-backed model, investing directly in bonded warehouses, cargo facilities, and long-term concessions.

We own and operate critical logistics infrastructure — warehouses, cargo terminals, and bonded facilities — ensuring full custody and control.
Strategic Partnerships
Through joint ventures with InfraCo Africa (ISDF) and Menzies Aviation (RACC), we combine local expertise with institutional credibility and global operational standards.
Strategic Vision: The Monrovia Logistics Platform (MLP)
GLS Group is developing an integrated logistics ecosystem that connects inland warehousing (ISDF), airport cargo (RACC), and export processing (EPC) into a unified, technology-enabled platform serving Liberia’s growing trade corridors.
