OUR STORY

Our Journey Through

Two Decades of Excellence

2024

Strategic Growth & New Partnerships

 

In 2024, we welcomed SKA International Group as a major client, further solidifying our position as Somalia’s leading logistics provider. Our container handling capacity reached new heights with 200+ containers monthly. We enhanced our warehousing capabilities and introduced advanced tracking systems. Our partnerships with global shipping lines continued to strengthen, ensuring reliable service delivery across all operations.

2020

Major Client Partnership

 

2020 marked a significant milestone as we began our partnership with Dahabshiil Group, one of Somalia’s largest corporations. This partnership demonstrated our capability to handle complex logistics requirements for major clients. Our expertise in customs clearance and nationwide distribution became crucial for their operations, establishing us as a trusted logistics partner for large-scale businesses.

2017

Strategic Rebranding & Expansion

 

2017 was a pivotal year as we rebranded from Almahdi to Mahdi General Services and significantly expanded our service portfolio. We added customs clearance and forwarding services to our existing shipping agency operations. This expansion positioned us as a comprehensive logistics solution provider, capable of handling the complete supply chain from port to final destination across Somalia.

2014

Long-term Partnership Begins

 

In 2014, we began our decade-long partnership with Somali Fuel Company (SFC), marking our entry into specialized fuel logistics. This partnership showcased our ability to handle sensitive cargo and complex regulatory requirements. Since then, we have successfully managed their logistics needs, demonstrating our reliability and expertise in specialized transportation and customs clearance.

2002

The Foundation

 

2002 marked the beginning of our journey when Mahdi General Services was established under the name Almahdi, starting as a shipping agency. From our headquarters in Mogadishu, we began serving clients across Somalia, building the foundation of trust and reliability that would define our company for over two decades. This humble beginning set the stage for our growth into one of Somalia’s most established logistics providers.
