AS PER WEBSITE DETAILS:

 

PROFILE:

 

The dream and far sighted vision of late Mr. T.N. Vohra to bring the business, and trade, in India, at par with the latest developments in the world in the field of logistics management led to the setting up 'Continental Carriers' in 1957. Today we look back upon our half-a-century-old heritage with a sense of pride and reconfirm our resolve to continue to strive for excellence.

 

The baton passed on, upon the sad and sudden demise of Mr. T.N. Vohra in December 2005, to a very competent and worthy successor in Mr. Vipin Vohra, who had already spent 30 years with the Continental Group under the able guidance of his illlustrious father.

 

Subject Group has always endeavored to be ahead of the competition in meeting the ever-growing challenges and responding to the ever changing dynamics in the logistics arena.

 

Subject Group has sustained its philosophy of 'Customer Oriented Thinking and Solution Oriented Working' by adherence to the work ethics.

 

They enjoy ISO-9001 certification since 1999.

 

A wide network of branches all over India, massive support infrastructure and facilities, and use of advanced technological tools enable us to be the leader in delivering innovative logistics solutions. Updation to 'the state-of-the-art' has become a habit with us.

 

They derive their strength from their valued patrons, associates across the globe, major carriers and a team of dedicated, highly motivated and qualified personnel.

 

 

CONTINENTAL CARRIERS BECOMES THE FIRST INDIAN COMPANY IN LOGISTICS TO RECEIVE THIS STANDARD

 

 

Indian logistics major Continental Carriers has been awarded the prestigious ISO 9001:2000 Continental thus, becomes one of the first freight forwarding companies in India to be given this quality standard. Continental Carriers joins an elite club of international freight forwarding companies who have been awarded this standard

 

Started in 1957, Continental is one of the leading freight forwarding companies in India. Over the years, it has provided a basket of services - Air freight, ocean freight, multimodal and import consolidation services. It also has an independent air express service.

 

Continental has been ranked consistently amongst the top IATA agents of the country. Continental Carriers has been top agents for major airlines like Lufthansa, SAS, Air Canada, Air France, Singapore Airlines, Gulf Air and United Airlines. The company has full-fledged offices in major cities – Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore, Kolkata, Jalandhar, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Pune and Moradabad.

 

 

The implementation of this quality standard was supervised by World's topmost quality organisation, the Netherlands's based Det Norske Veritas (DNV). Mr. A. Venkatraman of DNV said, "We are glad that a truly Indian company has been able to achieve this award. This shows Continental's commitment to quality and towards their goal of achieving the status of being one of the best freight forwarding companies in the world. The continuity of these standards are now being monitored by NQAQSR"
