Cargo Master Group is a family-owned and operated business specialized in international freight forwarding and cargo consolidation to and from Lebanon. Backed by three generations of extensive experience in this field, our expertise is unrivalled. Today, the third Abouzeid generation is managing Cargomaster’s activities. Roy Elie Abouzeid is responsible for business developments and finances, while Jacques Elie Abouzeid is in charge of the operational and commercial sides of the business.

The service started in the 1950s, when Georges Abouzeid concentrated most of his activities in the customs clearance business. Due to the geographical advantage of Beirut port and airport, demand increased for the transshipment of large construction and oil equipment destined for Gulf countries. During the Lebanese war, more interest was given to the local market.

In 1985, Elie Georges Abouzeid founded “Cargomaster Abouzeid & Co. s.a.l.” and has since been devoted to all air & sea freight forwarding, amongst other services such as international household removals, project equipment, door-to-door deliveries, and exhibition logistical management. “Master Line s.a.r.l.” was established in 1987 as a neutral NVOCC and devotes all of its activities to the air & sea consolidation service. The name changed from the 1st of February 2005 to “Cargomaster Line s.a.r.l." “Beirut Overseas Agency s.a.r.l.” was established in 1991 and is dedicated to being a shipping line and chartering representative.

In 1992, the group acquired the oldest freight forwarding company in the Middle East, “Levant Express Transport s.a.l." The company was established in 1930 by a German organization and was very active in the transit business to Iraq, Kuwait, Jordan and neighbouring countries. Due to the start of the Lebanese war in the 1970s, the management, composed mainly of German nationals, had to evacuate the country. Elie Abouzeid acquired all shares of the company in 1992. LET is now fully owned and managed by “Abouzeid Holding Sal.”

Having assembled a team of specialised people with many years of experience in the forwarding industry, our aim is to offer a wide range of high-quality and cost-competitive services. Their product portfolio is constantly expanding to match our desire to be the leading transportation group in the region.
