Established in 1975 , four years after the United Arab Emirates itself was formed , Dubaibased Global Shipping & Logistics LCC ( GSL ) has been fulfilling the supply chain needs of local businesses ever since . The business came on the scene in response to the UAE ’ s swift growth and development , with a view to instate itself early as a trusted logistical business . Starting off in shipping , GSL soon became more of a freight forwarding organisation , before building its first warehousing facility in 2006 . From this point on , the number of warehouses it operates has grown rapidly year-on-year .
