Abdullah Mahmud

Syarikat Logistik Petikemas Sdn Bhd

Work hard, commit to what you want to achieve, and be honest - these are the words Abdullah Mahmud lived by as he built Syarikat Logistik Petikemas Sdn Bhd along with six other partners. In 1997, they had a dream of building a third-party logistics (3PL) business from scratch. Realising that no business can be successful without the commitment and contribution of its staff members, Abdullah nurtured a spirit of one TEAM and one FAMILY to achieve this. Abdullah and his then colleagues saw the potential of the 3PL business that was dominated by well-established Malaysian-owned companies including government-linked companies and some international ones. A key contributing factor to Petikemas’ success is the support from banks, especially the first bank that supported them from the beginning and has remained its main backer. For the past 20 over years that Petikemas has been in business, it only targeted the businesses they wanted to do. They remain committed, as they have been since inception, to the introduction of innovative solutions and the timely phasing in of the correct assets that are not available in the market as seen in their achievements in the Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ).
