Silk Way Group presented SW AFEZCO and Alat Logistics Center at the Air Cargo Europe 2025 exhibition

One of the key events at the Air Cargo Europe 2025 exhibition was the announcement by Silk Way Group of the launch of two strategically important brands: SW AFEZCO (Silk Way Alat Free Economic Zone Company) and Alat Logistics Center, designed to play a transformative role in the development of Middle Corridor logistics.

Both brands are central elements of the Silk Way Cargo Village – a large-scale infrastructure project aimed at positioning Azerbaijan as an important logistics hub at the crossroads of Europe and Asia.

SW AFEZCO is responsible for the construction, development, and planning of infrastructure within the Alat Free Economic Zone (AFEZ). As a specialized division of the group of companies responsible for project implementation and regulatory compliance, it ensures that the entire logistics ecosystem - from transport corridors to customs zones - meets international standards and investor requirements.

By managing land resources, attracting tenants, and facilitating investment processes, SW AFEZCO plays a key role in ensuring the long-term growth and competitiveness of the region as a logistics and industrial center.

"The launch of SW AFEZCO and Alat Logistics Center is an important step towards transforming Alat into a strategic hub of global trade," said Zaur Akhundov, President of Silk Way Group. - "We are building more than infrastructure. We are creating a future-ready, sustainable logistics center that reflects Azerbaijan's strategic location and economic vision. Our goal is to provide global partners with world-class logistics services and access to emerging markets."

Alat Logistics Center is the main logistics integrator in Silk Way Cargo Village, designed to provide multimodal transport solutions combining air, rail, and road transportation. Strategically located in the Alat Free Economic Zone and adjacent to the future green cargo airport SW AFEZCO, Alat Logistics Center is designed to ensure the seamless movement of cargo throughout Eurasia.

Combining advanced infrastructure and intelligent logistics solutions, Alat Logistics Center will provide warehousing services, cargo consolidation, customs clearance, and e-commerce operations. Its goal is to improve freight efficiency, reduce transit time, and enhance the competitiveness of routes along the Middle Corridor.

Together, SW AFEZCO and Alat Logistics Center represent a progressive integrated logistics platform combining infrastructure, operational processes, and sustainable development. Their combined potential will accelerate the implementation of Silk Way Group's mission to strengthen Azerbaijan's role in global logistics and transform the Alat region into a smart, environmentally friendly, and attractive logistics center for investors.
