Founded in Denmark in 1975 as Mahé Freight, Scan Global Logistics (SGL) has grown into one of the world’s leading freight forwarders. With revenues of €2.38 billion in 2024, a strong M&A-driven growth strategy, and recent expansions across Tanzania, Turkey, and Canada, SGL has now entered India.

The company has launched three offices in India—Mumbai (its headquarters), Delhi, and Chennai—with plans to scale rapidly to eight offices by the end of 2025 and 20 offices across the country within three years.

In this exclusive interview with Rajarshi Chatterjee and Reji John, Allan Melgaard, Group CEO of Scan Global Logistics, shares why India is central to SGL’s global vision, how the company is navigating freight volatility, and what it takes to compete in one of the world’s most dynamic logistics markets.
