Our story
HAP International launched its operations in Bangladesh in 1992. Our first focus was moving expatriate families and their household effects into Bangladesh, working with household goods removal companies and trade associations around the world.
Since then we have grown into a full logistics provider: customs brokerage, freight forwarding, warehousing, packing and relocation. We are a customer-oriented company and aim to build long-term business relationships.
We aim to provide the highest quality service to all our customers on every occasion.
