ACML specialises in port-to-factory logistics and offers Full Container Load (FCL), Less Container Load (LCL), and Over Dimension Cargo (ODC) solutions, catering primarily to the import-export segment.

The company is currently finalising its Red Herring Prospectus (RHP) for submission to the Registrar of Companies and NSE Emerge, marking a strategic step toward expanding its presence in India’s growing logistics sector.
