MUSCAT, Oman and LONDON – April 21, 2026 – Asyad Group, a prominent global integrated logistics provider, today announced the strategic acquisition of Ligentia Group, a premier UK-based tech-enabled supply chain services provider. This landmark transaction, revealed simultaneously from Muscat and London, is set to significantly accelerate Asyad’s global expansion and reinforce its commitment to delivering innovative, end-to-end supply chain solutions.
The acquisition marks Asyad Group’s second major international transaction within two years, following the integration of Skybridge Freight Solutions (SFS) in July 2024. By joining forces, the newly combined entity will establish a formidable global network, operating in 76 cities across 24 countries. This expansion substantially broadens Asyad’s global reach, extending its operational footprint to over 70 locations worldwide.
Strategic Integration of Digital Capabilities
Founded in 1996, Ligentia has cultivated a strong reputation over nearly three decades for its expertise in designing, managing, and optimizing complex global supply chains. A cornerstone of this strategic partnership is the integration of Ligentia’s proprietary digital platform, Ligentix. Described as a sophisticated ‘control tower,’ Ligentix provides clients with real-time visibility, comprehensive ERP integration, and advanced predictive analytics.
This technology is poised to become a central pillar of the combined group’s strategy, aiming to deliver unparalleled efficiency, resilience, and agility across the entire supply chain ecosystem. The move underscores a clear focus on leveraging digital innovation to enhance operational excellence and customer service.
Enhanced Value Proposition for Global Clients
The deal is expected to significantly enhance the value proposition for a combined base of over 6,000 global clients. The addition of Ligentia’s deep expertise spans high-value sectors, including retail, consumer goods, industrial, automotive, manufacturing, healthcare, and e-commerce. This specialized knowledge enables the delivery of a truly comprehensive suite of end-to-end fourth-party logistics (4PL) solutions.
Customers will benefit from a single, integrated partner capable of managing complex global supply chains from the first to the last mile, supported by world-class technology and operational excellence. Furthermore, Ligentia’s established presence in key international hubs—including the UK, Poland, Hong Kong, China, Vietnam, India, Australia, and the United States—will seamlessly complement Asyad’s extensive existing logistics infrastructure, creating a more robust and interconnected global network.
Asyad’s Trajectory of Sustainable Growth
Over the past decade, Asyad Group has demonstrated a consistent ability to deliver sustainable growth, with its turnover increasing approximately seven-fold. The company reported a turnover of $320 million in 2016, which is estimated to reach an annualized level exceeding $2.1 billion in 2026. The acquisition of Ligentia builds on this strong financial foundation, reinforcing the Group’s capacity to deliver integrated, multimodal logistics solutions across the full value chain.
Leadership Perspectives on the Acquisition
Abdulrahman Al Hatmi, Group CEO of Asyad, articulated the strategic significance of the acquisition, stating, “This acquisition marks a defining moment for Asyad Group. By integrating Ligentia’s advanced digital capabilities and global network with our world-class logistics ecosystem, we are accelerating our expansion into key international markets.” He added, “This move reinforces our commitment to deliver smart, integrated logistics solutions that create long-term value for our customers and partners worldwide, unlocking new global opportunities across critical trade corridors.”
Dan Gill, Group CEO of Ligentia, expressed enthusiasm for the new chapter: “Joining Asyad marks an exciting new chapter for Ligentia. Over nearly three decades, we have built a customer focused business using a combination of technology and people to deliver innovative solutions.” Gill emphasized the benefits of the partnership, noting, “This partnership provides the scale, global reach, and strategic investment needed to accelerate our growth while continuing to innovate and enhance the services we deliver to our customers worldwide.”
The integration of Ligentia into Asyad Group is set to create a more powerful and technologically advanced logistics entity, poised to capitalize on evolving global trade dynamics. This strategic move not only expands geographical reach but also deepens technological sophistication, positioning the combined organization as a leader in providing resilient and efficient supply chain solutions for a diverse global clientele.
