Heritage

                The Lemuir Group's history and heritage spreads over 62 years, from modest beginnings as a small Customs Brokerage company in 1945 to the present group of companies, each an industry leader in its field.

Over the years, the Group pioneered important developments in the evolution of India’s transportation and logistics industry.

 

The growth in the Group’s services for international transportation, customs clearance and domestic logistics, was supported by the development of a global network of leading service partners, which eventually culminated into a global alliance with DHL Danzas Air & Ocean, today known as DHL Logistics.

 

In 2003, Deutsche Post World Net (DPWN), the owners of DHL Logistics, and the Parikh family entered into a strategic joint venture DHL Danzas Lemuir Private Limited (DDL) for international transportation. DDL successfully remains an industry leader in India.

 

More recently, DPWN / DHL and the Parikh family agreed to expand the joint venture by combining DDL, Exel India Private Limited (a DHL / DPWN group company) and Lemuir’s general cargo business.

 

On 1st May 2007, L&M has transferred its customs clearance and warehousing & distribution activities for general cargo into Exel India Private Limited Upon the merger of DDL and Exel, the new expanded joint venture will be named DHL Lemuir Logistics Private Limited (DLL). This will encompass both the DHL Logistics divisions: DHL Global Forwarding and DHL Exel Supply Chain.

 

Lee & Muirhead Private Limited, the flagship company, was acquired by the Parikh family from its promoters in 1945. L&M developed from customs brokerage into a leading logistics service provider. Today L&M provides integrated logistics services for infrastructure and industrial projects and bulk cargo, along with charters, shipping and related services.

 

Lemuir Air Express commenced one of the earliest airfreight consolidation services in India, to augment its air export services in operation since 1976. LAE merged its international services into DDL in 2003, and today provides domestic air cargo services in India.

 

In 1983 Lemuir Express was established to provide door-to-door logistics services for the Indian gems and jewellery trade. LE’s integrated logistics systems for valuables deliver diamonds, jewellery, gems and other precious commodities across the world in close association with a global network of leading specialist logistics partners in key markets.

 

Tirupur Container Terminals Private Limited, better known as the Tirupur ICD,  was established in 1994 at the request of and in joint venture with the Tirupur Exporters’ Association. Today, owned fully by the Lemuir Group, the ICD provides a crucial local gateway for the exports and imports, by both ocean and air, for Tirupur’s knitwear industry.

 

A. L. Movers, a joint venture with Allied Pickfords, the global leaders in Household Removals, is renowned for its world class relocation service.

 

Throughout Lemuir's growth and development, the culture and values of the family have been inculcated across the organisation. The Group's corporate vision envelops its business objectives with a strong sense of business ethics and social responsibility.

 

Lemuir's contribution to the country's national industry associations is widely acknowledged. The Air Cargo Agents Association of India, the Federation of Freight Forwarders Associations in India, the Travel Agents Association of India, have all been headed as President by Mr. Arvind Parikh, the Group Chairman. His vision and leadership abilities eventually positioned him as President of FIATA, the world Federation of Freight Forwarders' Associations. He continues to be Vice Chairman, Air Transport Commission of the International Chamber of Commerce.

 

Snehal Parikh, Managing Director, has also served as Vice President of FIATA, President of the Air Cargo Agents Association of India, and is a member of the Civil Aviation Ministry's Core Group on Air Cargo.


Lemuir's management participates in and contributes to various government fora, and several Chambers of Commerce and other trade bodies in India
