Fewer hand-offs, more accountability
We built Ziem Logistics around a simple idea: international shipments go wrong at the hand-over points. So we keep as many steps as possible in our own hands. We issue our own air waybills, clear customs with our own team wherever we can and work with a small network of strong partners under our brand everywhere else.
Our focus is on demanding cargo: export-controlled goods, aerospace parts, pharmaceuticals, biological materials and high-tech equipment, often under time pressure.

You always know who handles your cargo
Many forwarders pass shipments through several agents and networks. You never really know how many companies are involved. We work the other way round: maximum control, as few hand-overs as possible, direct contact with you.
Direct airline access
We book directly with the airlines and issue our own air waybills. No consolidator, no co-loader, no unknown parties between your cargo and the aircraft.
No agents, no agent business
We do not hand your shipment to local agents, and we do not work as an agent for other forwarders. We work directly for shippers and consignees.
Independent by choice
We have deliberately stayed out of the large logistics networks. That keeps us fast, transparent and accountable to you for the long term.
Trusted partners only where needed
Where we cannot do it ourselves, we use a small number of long-standing, vetted partners for road transport and customs, under our control and our procedures.
